It seems like the Youtube algorithm somehow reinforces the spread of stupid videos. Like, people maybe watch them for an average of 15s instead of 10s before zapping since they are so stupid. I got the same theory about the Facebook feed. Where "car accident videos" or "disgusting things" get more spread than they should since people stop scrolling for 12% more time while blocking the poster or something ...
