If you do a No-Filter Search on YouTube for the phrase “Las Vegas Shooting,” as of today, Thursday, October 26th, 2017, what you will find is a list of videos that come from Mainstream news channels and mainstream news shows.
Not until you get down to video #81, do you find a non-Mainstream-created video, from Viralhog, called “Las Vegas Festival Shooting.”
At #96, we get a video from HighImpactFlix called “WTH!?! Video of Stephen Paddock Alive AFTER Las Vegas Shooting???”
That’s it in the top 100, two videos in the “Las Vegas Shooting” search, with no filters, that are created by non-mainstream-media content creators.
Now, if you do a search of “Las Vegas Shooting” with the filter for view count (meaning, the videos with the most views will come up), you get, in the top 10 alone, 5 videos created by non-mainstream-media content creators.
No doubt the video views of the Mainstream content creators were helped by YouTube’s intentional promotion of them, having purposely curated the search results not to produce what actual YouTube viewers were looking at, or even wanted to find, but simply filtering out most non-mainstream-media content creators from the hot search results.
In addition to that, YouTube also hand-curated its Trending Videos, placing Jimmy Kimmel’s anti-human, anti-liberty, anti-gun nonsense rant at number one when, at the time, it was clear from the view counts his video was nowhere near number one in terms of actual virality. The constant promotion of the video, however, did help the video now get past the 9 million-mark, and it now shows up as #1 in the “Las Vegas Shooting” search with the view count filter on.
