I too stumbled upon Classic Tetris through the Youtube algorithm. I've watched almost all of the 2019 and 2020 world championships and the game is just played so well with so much energy. It's really a simple game and the players are just SO fast at understanding the combinations and when to "burn" lines to set up more valuable Tetrises. Incredibly surprised that Joesph lost but it was a REALLY REALLY close game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isbvQVngnXA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isbvQVngnXA)

> I too stumbled upon Classic Tetris through the Youtube algorithm. To me this aspect was the most fascinating point about this article. I cannot shake the feeling that the algorithm "decided" for many individuals how to spend large amounts of their time.

  In some ways we have already hit the singularity. Some random ML has changed the lives of thousands of people to play tetris. Imagine the other similar situations. It's very scary to me that people live their lives inside such tightly controlled "algorithms". Then throw on the human element how Google gets to ban certain topics from the algorithm and it just feels dystopian. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?
