I suspect it is... It turned up in my YouTube suggestions yesterday. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/eBc827pwKf0 https://youtu.be/eBc827pwKf0

It came up on my suggestions few hours ago.

I think we three are in the same Google Bubble as I've just finished watching that glorious Open University video. If the algorithm wills it, I think it means we have to be best friends! Seriously though, I would be weirdly fascinated to see what else you guys subscribe to and if there are any correlations to my subscriptions. I find this channelling people into little boxes fascinating, and those curves are also very cool.

  I think we four are in the same Google Bubble. I have watched it just yesterday. The same exact video.

  Perhaps I should join this cadre as well. The all knowing algorithm has chosen me for the same purpose. It would be interesting to me to know how many stories in HN trend simply because a group of people were all recommended the same content.
  - colemannugent 8y ago
    I can't remember another particular instance, but there have been several times where something interesting linked on HN will have another piece of interesting content related to it which will then also be posted here. It is kind of uncanny that we all have seen this particular video in our recommendations recently. It makes me want to try and create a graph of the connections between all the links.

      You do realize that the Internet is a vast AI with whole humans for neurons, don't you? ;-)

    We have a winner! I'm subscribed to all of those.

      It strikes me that, as YouTube puts its hand into the bag to pull out a marble, there are probably just a lot less marbles than we think, and certainly less marbles worth watching than we think, and far far less worth watching that have been made in the past week? Additionally, if youtube was forced to only play videos where copyright was proven to belong to the owner of the channel, would it collapse completely. Is that perhaps what is shrinking the bag of marbles ? Which interestingly suggests that if we force youtube to actually respect IP, it would reward new creators of quality work more proportionately

This literally showed up in my yt feed an hour ago...

Wow, this is the first time I've become aware of other individuals in the same bubble. The video appeared in my recommended list yesterday.

  Me too!

Suggested for me this morning, and again just now.
sumnulu 8y ago
Same here 6 hours ago I watched it.

I'll add wrote a similar comment but I suspect that someone already saw this video and comment here. But I am a little surprised by the amount of people that get that from the recommender system too.
- ak39 8y ago
  I got this video recommended to the point of nuisance. Ended up subscribing after watching the video though.
bordercases 8y ago

tobr 8y ago
Wow, I was recommended and watched this yesterday as well.

Suggested for me also. Compare with yesterday's discussion on HN about YouTube's algorithms: "YouTube's tendency to push everyday users toward politically extreme content" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17938181 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17938181
