公民越来越多地使用在线平台，尤其是YouTube，来获取信息。本文探讨了YouTube的推荐系统在科学传播中的作用，以评估YouTube的推荐系统在气候变化问题上是否产生了过滤气泡。因此，它有助于越来越多的文献发现这样的过滤气泡实际上并不存在。这篇论文表明，用户很可能会获得类似观点的内容，至少对于连续推荐的几个视频来说是这样。此外，人们还观察到，在不同的建议中，否认气候变化的同一推动者一次又一次地出现。考虑到这一切，YouTube可能会导致过滤气泡的产生，用户无法获得所有相关的科学信息。
Citizens increasingly use online platforms, and in particular YouTube, to get informed. This paper addresses the role of YouTube’s recommendation system in science communication to assess whether YouTube's recommendation system is creating filter bubbles on the climate change issue. It, therefore, contributes to the growing literature that finds that such filter bubbles actually do not exist. The paper shows that users are likely to get content with similar opinions, at least for a few recommended videos in a row. In addition, it was observed that the same promoters of climate denial appear over and over again in different recommendations. Given all that, YouTube can lead to the creation of filter bubbles where users do not have access to all relevant scientific information.
