I think its less about any agenda to alter history in this case and more just lazy content. So I play with my little Youtube channel. As part of that I lurk on some Reddit forums for small YT channels.

There are ALOT of people grinding out some semblance of a living or a side hustle with low effort content, often with AI help. Just because if you flood the zone you might get enough views to generate some revenue. And while I wouldn't call the algorithms luck, there is an aspect to throwing enough darts that something will blow up, even if its trash. These content "creators" often work waaaay harder on Search Engine Optimization efforts than they do on the content itself. Keywords "Sherman Tank" for example etc. There is also a "hate watch" aspect to it, where if they deliberately put something that isn't true, and one of you guys comment about it, Facebook, YT, Instagram just sees that as engagement.

Similar but maybe even slimier, there are a lot of guys who will operate 20-30 channels at a time where they cut up episodes of House, band of Brothers, pick your popular show and use AI to create reels out of them. Knowing full well they will get banned for copywrite issues eventually. But they just constantly open a new one as soon as the old one gets banned and juggle a ton of channels at once.

Whenever there is some way for people to make money and not have to actually go to work people are going to take advantage. When I worked in the poker industry in vegas it was the same. There were tons of "pro" players who ground out livings if you wanted to call it that. More often than not it seemed like more work and stress to me than just having a boss. But I guess it is nice to have your own schedule.
