Stuff They Don’t Want YouTube Know, Chapter Two: A Narrative War

from Stuff They Don't Want You To Know Hosted by iHeartPodcasts

As the largest video-sharing platform on the planet, YouTube can make -- or break -- the careers of billions of creators through policy changes or demonetization. For many people, it's become the primary source of news, education, and entertainment. And other powerful forces are paying attention. In the second chapter of this special two-part series, Ben, Matt, and Noel explore how everyone from large corporations to state-level powers, intelligence agencies, and extremist groups push to control aspects of YouTube, conspiring to win a war of narratives -- and make sure you only see what they want you to see.
