    According to the lawsuits, YouTube and Reddit “transformed and addicted” Gendron and prepared him for the attack on Tops market.

    I’d like to see what they’re actually claiming.

      I dunno about reddit but it’s no secret that YouTube will push you down a rabbit hole with their algorithm. Watch one video popular with right wing people and suddenly everything is about “Jewish space lasers” and “antifa coming to murder you”

      They’re claiming “I went through a tragedy and want money, give me a settlement out of court quickly.” Anyone that thinks this will go to court and win is a nut.
