Big tech doesn't want you to know that you can tinker with their apps to adjust the ads & algorithm

Making apps less irritating is the latest subject for Punter's Politics, a channel more often occupied with what Australian governments and media organisations are doing.

"Big Tech Doesn't Want You To Know About THIS App" argues that Australians are getting a worsening deal from technology companies. A follow-up turns to the possibility of tinkering with apps to adjust their ads and algorithms, bringing the channel's political scrutiny to the software people use every day.

The earlier upload has reached roughly 158,000 views since arriving on Tuesday. Across the channel, daily viewing has climbed to about 266,000, well above its usual pace. That rise accompanies several uploads, rather than establishing that the tech video alone caused it.

There is precedent for this subject on Punter's Politics: its Netflix critique is among its most-watched regular videos. The new app discussion also sits beside more familiar political territory, including a video about who profits from political anger spreading from America to Australia.
