Pretty cool, I didn't know it was a series in Italy. From what they said in the article it doesn't seem too far from the Disney version. (Any more than the expected, condensed, Disney way). Jordan Peterson actually really opened up the Disney story of Pinocchio for me, all of it is really quite apt. I could imagine the original is quite amazing. https://youtu.be/Us979jCjHu8 https://youtu.be/Us979jCjHu8

Reader beware: watching one clip of Jordan Peterson will infect your Youtube recommendations with ‘woke’ videos for teens, and they will sit there for years to come.

  Yeah, there is something going on there with the recommendations for controversial figures like Jordan. I just watched some of the lectures, the 3 to 4 hour ones on Pinocchio and the Bible. Now my recommendations are infected with "Jordan Peterson DESTROYS feminists"

    My condolences. I'm pretty sure it may now take YouTube a full year to learn that you're not gonna watch that. Might be easier to remove the lectures from the ‘watch history’ and then methodically mark these recommendations as not interesting to you. Of course, idk if that doesn't also catch some properly good content by association.

      I do wish YouTube's recommendations would open up a wider spectrum sometimes. It seems to get stuck on a half dozen topics on my Android TV

    They mostly go away, eventually.

      I think watch time is big part of the formula; because they are long lectures it takes a lot of shorter videos to override their weight.

  as someone from "before the Internet" I find this tiny (real) anecdote about watching a single YouTube video "ruining recommendations" very powerful in all the wrong ways

    The reality is it's at most a minor inconvenience since these days youtube's recommendations can be controlled by telling youtube you don't want something recommended. You can depeterson yourself fairly easily if afflicted.

      The thing is, I'm never sure that YouTube learns that I don't want Peterson, and not that I'm allergic to e.g. feminism.
      - pvg 4y ago
        Yeah that's fair. My youtube usage is relatively narrow in topics so it's probably a little easier to deal with the blast radius.

        I'm allergic to both sides of the culture war, but the algorithms seem to want me to be invested in someone's narrative on it.

> Pretty cool, I didn't know it was a series in Italy. From what they said in the article it doesn't seem too far from the Disney version. (Any more than the expected, condensed, Disney way). I watched the Disney adaptation about a year ago and it sounds like it hit upon the most of the points of the original, though some of them were only in passing. It certainly wasn't just about a lying boy, as I originally thought it to be. What did strike me was how grim the adaptation was. I don't know if I would show it to a child these days, and I know a great many children who would be scared witless by it.
