      If the headline doesn’t describe the article, it’s clickbait and should be shamed.

        Blah blah blah blah blah blah. It’s not click bait, or addresses the context. Read the article and you’d fucking understand your perceived click bait issue is imaginary.

        The headline does describe the article. The article has more detail about the motivations and nuance of why certain weight and fitness videos are being promoted less to children.

        The platform will still allow 13- to 17-year-olds to view the videos, but its algorithms will not push young users down related content “rabbit holes” afterwards.

        If they included rabbit hole in the title, it would still be necessary for a lot of people unaware of the term to read the article to find out what that phrase means.

      Every time someone claps to their own words, their intent is to antagonize instead of communicate a point

      I did read the article and my point still stands. If idealizing people that are better than you wanting to be better than what you currently are Is now something that is bad than we have failed. No matter if it’s your physical condition, knowledge, wealth, anything. We as a human race should always push each other to be better than before.

        It isn’t about people better than you. It is about idealized and generally unrealistic body standards.

        The new guidelines, now introduced in the UK and around the world, apply to content that: idealises some physical features over others, such as beauty routines to make your nose look slimmer; idealises fitness or body weights, such as exercise routines that encourage pursuing a certain look; or encourages social aggression, such as physical intimidation.

        These are not videos about getting to a healthy weight and exercise routine. “Certain look” is a crappilly phrased way of saying unrealistic body standards, but that is what it means.

          I still don’t see it. Example being Hugh Jackman from the new Deadpool movie. There are interviews with with saying “yes I just eat 5k calories a day of chicken, veggies, and fish.” That is 100% false and not true. If someone watches that interview because they wanted to either know how he managed to look like that or just because they liked the movie. but then in the recommended section it does not show someone who actually knows shit about fitness and steroids etc how would they know. Sometimes that rabbit hole is good. And can bring upon knowledge. A lot of fitness influences speak out on what would be considered “unrealistic body standards” as it is unhealthy to attempt to look that way.

          As for trying to make you nose looks a certain way I can’t really speak on that. but I still believe that the restriction of anything on a site such as YouTube is a dangerous precedent to set.

          Edit: clarity

            It is kind of funny that you think the recommendations would be informative instead of some shill peddling the same “you can do it with 5000 calories and exercise” bullshit. A rabbit hole is going further down the same hole.
