Yes the 100% natural candy they gave you, surreptitiously laced with addictive substances, did what it was supposed to!
By the time you are addicted, they don't care that you know.
(The line between addiction, and highly reinforced habit, is a continuum. But it is all insidious. Your choice and will was hacked by deception, before you had an informed choice to not even start.)
- MyFedora 3y agoWhen I check out YouTube's home page, I usually find recommendations for cool stuff like https://youtu.be/Loq-YHYGZy8 https://youtu.be/Loq-YHYGZy8, https://youtu.be/xb_g7qNCpuo https://youtu.be/xb_g7qNCpuo, or https://youtu.be/8iPoXZuzlUg https://youtu.be/8iPoXZuzlUg. This isn't the stereotypical, braindead content everyone complains about. It's actually relevant to what I watch. A lot of these come from smaller creators who post a mix of topics, which means the traditional subscriber model flat out doesn't work. Sometimes they also only post a few videos and then vanish. So when people say the recommendation system is broken, I have to wonder if it's really about not wanting to face the fact that their feed reflects what they watch. If they're getting recommended stuff they don't like, maybe it's because that's what they've been into.
