YouTube pushed a video about it to me a few days ago - I guess it’s an algorithm driven story.

  The one with the red haired woman? I was just telling my friend about that one the other day.

      why do her videos have 18M+ views? Is there something special about her "day in the life of" vs everyone else's? Or did the algorithm just decide to highlight her?

        I think they're just short, punchy, and about an interesting subject matter (being a schoolteacher in Japan). The algorithm just fed the cycle once it got going.

  Not surprised the story is being spread around. I'm sure that a lot of corporations would be happy to amplify a story that will make workers in other countries feel better about not being treated as badly as Japanese workers are by their employers, but I hope it just gets people thinking about how given the chance employers will abuse us to whatever extent we allow them to. Maybe it'll get people thinking about what can be done to improve things where they are or at least make sure things never get as bad.
