WHAT IN THE WORLD HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA? ~ By David Cloud any are truly and fundamentally shocked at what is happening in America, and it is shocking, but what we are seeing today is the product of a long process of apostasy (for lack of a better word). It is a process of incremental wickedness. It is a warning not to overlook “little” sins and “little” heresies and “little” crimes. The destruction of America is like the life cycle of ivy. First it sleeps, then it creeps, finally it leaps. In the 19th century, destruction was sleeping, as the seeds were being sown through the dawning of theological modernism, Unitarianism, Darwinian evolution, Marxism, and Freudianism. By the 20th century, destruction was creeping. Now in the 21st it’s leaping! Even when the “Star Spangled Banner” was made the official national anthem by a congressional resolution in Already in the first half of the 20th century, the nation was 1931, and nearly all Americans were fervent flag wavers, being turned upside down and the remnants of biblical the nation’s foundation was being destroyed and the roots influence were disintegrating.

Recently, YouTube's outsize influence has sparked concerns that its recommendation algorithm systematically directs users to radical right-wing content. Here we investigate these concerns with large scale longitudinal data of individuals' browsing behavior spanning January 2016 through December 2019. Consistent with previous work, we find that political news content accounts for a relatively small fraction (11%) of consumption on YouTube, and is dominated by mainstream and largely centrist sources. However, we also find evidence for a small but growing \echo chamber" of far-right content consumption. Users in this community show higher engagement and greater \stickiness" than users who consume any other category of content. Moreover, YouTube accounts for an increasing fraction of these users' overall online news consumption. Finally, while the size, intensity, and growth of this echo chamber present real concerns, we find no evidence that they are caused by YouTube recommendations.
