Ephemeral content on platforms like YouTube is typically temporary and forgotten, but it is now being captured on a massive scale. This includes suggestions, recommendations, and search results from major social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter. With advancements in monitoring capabilities, data is being analyzed more rapidly each year, leading to the creation of a real-time dashboard that displays the collected data and reveals noticeable biases. This dashboard updates every five minutes, providing continuous insight into manipulative practices that may not be readily apparent.
