Debate Me! How To Know Things on Youtube JohntheDuncan 2021-06-11 | How is knowledge created online? How do the structures and pressures of the profit driven youtube algorithm affect knoweldge on these platforms? In this video I argue firstly that these platforms push creators to produce more and more work with less and less attention to sound knowledge creation. This has led to the proliferation of debate culture. I then in turn argue that this debate culture privileges certain forms of knowledge over other - that it has certain "epistemic ideals". Finally, I argue that these epistemic ideals are actually just developments of deeply embedded western ideals of knowledge creation which should be challenged by the left...I also try to make some jokes throughout to keep you entertained like the platform logic demands...damn I'm part of the system!*NOTE* the creator we're in hell features in this video. at the time we were friends but he has since sexually assaulted someone, lied to others and myself about pursuing rehabilitative justice and engaged in common abuse tactics to silence his victim. i no longer associate with him or his channel and would encourage others tk unsubscribeUntil March 2023 use the discount code DUNCAN50 to get 50% off at books from the radical publisher Pluto Press plutobooks.com many of the books I use are from there!
