YouTube and Google have put out tons of comms lately indicating that it's at least something top of mind
- truculent 8y agoThe problem is that it's a direct result of their business model & environment. I would think they could fix it (or at least put a big dent in it) immediately if they ditched the recommendation engines, autoplay and other tricks to keep people watching. But they can't to do that, because of the choices they made 2-5 years ago.
