Slate posted:The New York Times got its hands on a draft version of the report produced by the independent investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against disgraced CBS CEO Les Moonves, and whatever you were imagining, it’s worse. According to the Times, which covered the story via the simultaneous publication of a reported piece from Rachel Abrams and Edmund Lee, a summary of the four main takeaways from the draft report, and an opinion piece from James B. Stewart,the lawyers that CBS hired to look into Moonves’ past not only concluded that Moonves had “engaged in multiple acts of serious nonconsensual sexual misconduct in and outside of the workplace, both before and after he came to CBS in 1995,” but that Moonves lied, misled investigators, and destroyed evidence during the course of the investigation. What’s more, the report concludes that board members, high-ranking CBS executives, and rank-and-file employees were aware of allegations against Moonves—in the case of the now-deceased board member Arnold Kopelson, since as far back as 2007—and did little or nothing about them. quote:Although the reporters did conclude that Moonves’ sexual misconduct came to an end in 2004 when he married Julie Chen, knowledge of Moonves’ behavior was still widespread enough in 2018 that multiple employees told the investigators about another CBS employee who was believed to be “on call” to provide Moonves with oral sex, and thus unfireable. The woman in question did not respond to investigators’ requests for an interview, but Moonves admitted to receiving what he described as consensual oral sex from her in his office, despite the fact that she was his subordinate. (The fact that Moonves’ behavior was apparently an open secret casts a terrible light on the board’s initial decision to stand by Moonves until his conduct had been investigated; Moonves didn’t resign until September, after a second round of sexual misconduct allegations.)

Not sure if there's room for this type of anecdotal discussion in this thread but I've had an interesting experience with algorithms and I'd like to talk about it. I'll condemn Louis CK's actions till the day that I die, but there are still certain parts of his act that I really appreciate, or that resonated with me in a way that I sometimes return to them out of nostalgia (in particular, his bit on playing monopoly with his kids). In the meantime, I have become INUNDATED with all types of MRA videos and channels decrying MeToo and defending Louis CK / TJ Miller / Aziz Ansari etc. (comedians I don't even watch) to an obsessive and obviously not impartial degree. The ignore / "don't show me this type of content" button does not seem to permanently abate this phenomenon. I'm sure my time lurking in the Schadenfreude thread might have some kind of hand in the content I'm being shown, but I can't help but to think that somewhere in code there's a correlation between "enjoys the art" and "wants to be exonerated for enjoying it" that the YouTube engine seems compelled to reinforce? This whole experience has really put the 2016 election, and humanity's inherent cognitive dissonance, in perspective for me. I do feel sympathy for these people who believe that there's a war against men, and not that a larger systemic corruption is finally being unveiled, because the systems they use to enjoy art must also comfort them with subliminal messages that they can enjoy them guilt free, in fact here's 6 simple facts about the case that prove Louis CK did nothing wrong. Outside of the larger movement against social media algorithms in politics, is there any battle currently being waged on this front in particular, in regards to MeToo?

Having watched a couple of celebrities I'm interested in on Joe Rogan, mysteriously I am now exposed to the lovely MRA/Neo-Nazi opinions of Joe Rogan and his guests (the vast majority of his shows), along with the thousands of MRAs who boost Bill Burr and Norm Macdonald as allies--because, at the end of the day, they are, no matter how much time they spend trying to equivocate. The only real way to get out of lovely YouTube is to watch people people who aren't hiding behind "political neutrality/independence" and "anti-PC" views to support or weaken the status quo, becoming a gateway drug for disaffected young men. If someone's going to bring up politics on their show and invite political guests, they aren't neutral or independent. They're selling you something. There's a lot of supposedly apolitical comedians, especially those who wish they were George Carlin, who mysteriously feel the need to abandon that to leap to Louis CK's defense. Then you figure out why politics are never explicitly in their act--because they're cool with status quo politics. gently caress 'em.

The thing is, I don't watch these shows, I never have. Joe Rogan and Bill Burr's podcasts disgust me. All I did was look up a few clips from Louis CK's stadium comedy acts and YouTube connected the rest of the dots for me. My gripe is that the barrier to being presented MRA political podcasts seems to be "searched for and watched comedy acts of a disgraced comedian", indicating to me that YouTube is guilty, at least in part, in indoctrinating disaffected males that weren't otherwise looking to be radicalized when seeking out art they enjoy.

I mean, it isn't, but he can act like it is, do his act in defiance of the largelty imaginary and powerless crazy lefty pc brigade, and sell way more tickets than he would otherwise

Even turning off View History, the site will access likes and playlists to make similar suggestions. It's like that Microsoft AI that learned from the internet and it became an alt-right monster. I was getting Fox News recommendations on my Home page for YouTube, and no amount of "Do not show me this content" made it go away. I wrote in an angry complaint and I haven't seen it since, but that doesn't inspire confidence given that the column of video suggestions in any given video I am watching has recommendations from places/people I do not want to see.

every single time I see a video in the list of recommended videos on the side of what you're watching that features Ben Shapiro in any context other than laughing at him I immediately report for inappropriate content. No one should be forced to watch Ben Shapiro without the context of him being a total loving loon. (why I get Ben Shapiro-adjacent videos, I have no idea, I watch nothing on YouTube but music videos, trailers, stuff about speed running and the occasional ContraPoints video.

Any time there's a problem in culture, you can follow a long (or short) thread right back to capitalism every loving time. You get recommendations on YouTube for MRA guys or for edgy "anti-PC" comedians like Bill Burr because they're popular and popularity equals advertising equals money for YouTube. It's why Nazis aren't run out on the rails on tumblr or whatever, they're easy to advertise to. Money is all that matters to tech companies, they don't give a single poo poo about toxic politics doing real damage to impressionable young men and the people those young men hurt in-turn.

Also, Bill Burr sort of exemplifies comedians that are good performers without any unique insight or even punchlines. His standup is essentially the type of tired bullshit you hear from your dumb uncle at Thanksgiving, but he speaks with conviction and he knows how to deliver a joke. He's a moron.
