I think you're giving this a bit too much credence. And I think you also think there's something special about sorting videos by how often they're viewed in a recent timeframe (which is all you need to recreate evil social media algorithm)
- aubanel 3mo agoFeed algorithms are far from sorting videos only by strict decreasing order of trending factor. One example of that is that feeds are randomized: refresh the page, it changes completely. Another example is how it optimizes for bait content.
- bcjdjsndon 3mo agoIf it's randomised that's not malignant. Optimizing for bait content is just showing what's popular recently. The system only knows it's bait because so many people clicked it (and took the bait)
