there is a ton of propaganda in TV too. And even on videogames, to a lesser extent. An example, the other day my niece was playing FarCry 6 and when I read about the story it was clearly American anti-Cuba propaganda, appropriating "revolutionary fighters" that fight to make Cuba a capitalist democracy.

Edit: just for clarification, I do not support the Cuban government, but neither I do support the US and how historically they've wanted to make Cuba one of their satellite countries.

It's a bit different because the short videos are algorithmically targeted for individuals, as opposed to the viewpoints just being broadcast. This makes it much easier to manipulate people in specific ways
