Youtube optimizes for watch time. Most people don't want to spend their afternoons having their views challenged.
Any algorithm that properly optimizes for watch time of the masses will learn to validate views.
What about my statement is speculation?
• Youtube themselves state that they optimize for watch time.
• I don't want to go and search for papers on this, but I don't think the idea that people prefer to have their views validated instead of challenged is in any way controversial or speculation.
• It's also not speculation to state that people want to spend their time doing things that gives them positive emotions.
You clearly won't get "objective proof" on this, because the only way to actually proof this would be to do a formal study on it. And why would anyone to a study on such an obvious non-controversial topic?
Also, I said I want "some objective proof". You twisted that into "complete proof". Its funny that you are doing the exact thing you're accusing me of.
I didn’t do the same thing as you because I didn’t post around multiple times asking for the same thing from multiple people and acting sort of obtuse like they are saying something isolated.
