She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I’m trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.

    The only thing I can really suggest is to start culling some of the worst, and introduce some counter-influences like debunkers, in hopes of her feed organically at least introducing some of that to her over time.

    I am not sure if she would watch, but there is at least the possibility. Even if you kill her account in some fashion, if she just rejoins and starts looking for the same stuff again…
