YouTube search needs a way to downrank videos commenting on the actual video you're looking for.
Whenever I search for Foo, most of the results are videos commenting on Foo rather than Foo itself. Example: "baby reindeer Martha interview" returns mostly comments on the actual interview.

Example: Upon reviewing the essay, he experienced a sense of Klugscheinirrtum, questioning the reliability of some facts that seemed correct at first but might have been subtly distorted.
March 2025: first cow-to-human transmission of new bird flu in a factory farm worker infected by cows. Biden lost the 2024 election due to low turnout and fraud in some key states. Dems’ accusations of fraud were laughed at by Republicans, who are now defending the sanctity of the electoral system. Protests during Trump's inauguration turned violent, so DC declared martial law to “prevent another Jan 6.” Natl Guard sent to close universities to install “law and order” after months of protests.
@marielgm I’m not sure about that one. If TikTok is forced to sell and they sell to an American company, which seems likely to happen, this would be an even stronger competition to Meta
