What the parent comment said still applies. Algorithm or not, you can become a top pop singer either by having a really good voice and being talented or by being singling about how you enjoy something controversial just to create outrage. The only difference is your audience.
- BoorishBears 5y agoThe algorithm accounts for that. If you sound like a dying cat, your click through rate will be high, but your average watch length will be low. I agree there's a problem with how the algorithm drives creators to this stuff, but it's also not that unsophisticated that clickbait = success
