Supplementary Material 17: American Dreams, YouTube Algorithms, and Poisonous Plastics
About this episode
In this episode, Chris and Matt open the lid on Matt's adventures in America. Basking in the land of the free, Matt is forced to consider YouTube dynamics, indulgent podcast conversations, potential Russian influence campaigns, and the environmental toxins that sound him.
We will return soon with another SM election special and a better mic for Matt!
