Pls make the same kind of video for Bill Gates

The fact that they didn’t name his perfume “Elon’s Musk” makes me sad

Just a quick correction - When you're talking about India, at 36:49, the documentary was about the Prime minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, not the presidemt

Hey Johnny, you asked about the study at around mark 30. So they write: "Therefore, although a randomized controlled experiment, our experiment does not satisfy the well-known Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA) from causal inference [14]. As a consequence, it cannot provide unbiased estimates of causal quantities of interest, such as the average treatment effect (ATE)." (P.2) As in, because the users in the control group still interact with the users in the treatment group, the effect of being in the control group is not isolated. As such, the research design of the paper is not strictly considered causal. I would thus not refer to this as "robust evidence" as you say. Second (on the same page), they admit that the treatment group receives a different treatment over time - that is that their algorithm changes over time. So comparing the control group, with a treatment group that changes over time can cause some difficulties.

42 minutes on Musk? Strap in boys

I want to see Ground news bias meter on this one

THe fact he renamed it 'X 'and EVERYONE still calls it Twitter tells you everything you need to know...

I am independent, not left or right, and I never trusted Musk. Everything I've seen happen since he's bought Twitter, is no surprise to me. I am a free speech absolutist, so I believe there should be no algorithms that artificially create trends, or censor people. I think people should be given very advanced and innovative tools so they can decide what specifically they want to see, or not. I'm not claiming this solves anything, it is simply the right thing to do. People have the right to make their own choices for themselves, for better or worse. Corporations should not be turning adults into 3 year olds by making these decisions for them and telling them that they aren't allowed to make these choices for themselves..

I bet Elon really enjoyed this video until 18:10

Antozent- they are selling around 150 self help books for the price of one (you’re welcome)

A small issue with before/after Elon comparison of twitter is not accounting for changes in law. For e.g. in India far stricter IT rules were implemented which might make it harder for twitter to simply not comply with a government requests and take them to courts, because the court would then ask twitter to follow that law which tells them to follow governments directives. A lot more details underneath all this of course.

The first two titles on this video weren't getting the numbers you hoped, or..?

“Elon buying Twitter is like a cigarette addict buying a cigarette factory” Nilay Patel

The pandemic was the pivot. He HATED that the government could tell his employees to stay home.

One of the most annoying and polarizing things I've seen, is that many Conservatives have become convinced that all Liberals are all hard core leftists. And of course equally on the flip side, many Liberals have become convinced that all Conservatives are far right. You all basically want mostly the same things, but both sides act as if the other wants entirely opposite things. The average person, regardless of their political side, is not so unhinged. The minority does not represent the majority, but the minority speaks the loudest, and the majority never speaks at all. Thats the problem..

There is an editing mistake at 28:01. Wrong interview.

This comment section is going to be fire

8:08 "Patents were not copyrighted" That's not how patents work. Patents and copyrights are two distinct forms of intellectual property protection, patents can't be copyrighted.

Currently reading the sources you provided, especially the paper "Algorithmic-Amplification-of-Politics-on-Twitter". According to the paper, the data for measuring the amount of media bias was from only a 4 month period... " based on impressions over the time period between 15 April and 15 August 2020." If this data was being gathered during 2020 and from such a short span of time, do you think there might be some major discrepancies compared to data that might have been taken from a period of several years [as opposed to 4 months]?
