PSA - WE'RE NOT FAKE NEWS! OR BATTLE OF THE AI

EV Channels Review

This impromptu livestream addresses significant challenges faced by Transport Evolved regarding content distribution and platform integrity. The primary concern is the 'fact-checking' and flagging of their videos by platforms like Facebook, which the hosts believe misrepresents their journalistic efforts and potentially conflates their content with anti-EV propaganda. The presenter expresses frustration over increased online hate, including homophobia and transphobia, which has impacted the team's well-being. Additionally, issues with YouTube's algorithm are highlighted, specifically its tendency to resurface old videos as current and its problematic handling of comments, flagging long-standing ones as spam. The channel also faces challenges with automakers who prefer positive coverage, leading to exclusion from press events. The video serves as a public service announcement, urging viewers to report instances of content misrepresentation and to support the channel through Patreon to maintain its independence and ability to produce in-depth content.
