So what? Either it appeals to my interests or it doesn't. Why should I care if a million other people get it recommended as well?

So what?

- kardos 6mo agoWell it won't be 'non-mainstream' for one
- krapp 6mo agoSure it would. No matter how many people see, say, Shpongle on their timeline, they're never going to be mainstream. No one is going to be talking about 空夜coo:ya in the same conversation as Taylor Swift or Bruno Mars. Being slightly more visible in the algorithm for a brief period isn't going mainstream. And even if that were the case, again, so what? If Youtube makes good non-mainstream music more popular, that's still a good thing. That's exactly what one should want a recommendation algorithm to do. I'm trying to see the problem here and I can't.
