I was not expecting the truth to be SO much worse than the algorithmically provided view.
I'm sold on algorithmic timelines now. That Youtube is awful. People are awful. Fortnite Battle Royale is awful. I don't want to see any of those.

Self-modifying programs are still an enigma we haven't untied.
Twitter trends are being dominated by sports I couldn't care less about, Reddit's front page is constantly bombarded with FortniteBR posts, and YouTube is being taken over by clickbait, tabloid press and garbage. Evidently, that's what people want.
For example. I like all those electronics, physics and music theory videos, but after weeks of same old same old, I sometimes crave for something completely different. I would like to be able to see an orthogonal view to what I usually get just to be able to break out of that self reinforcing recommendation loop.
I could search for stuff I am not interested in and watch videos I don't like just to reset the assumption youtube has about the videos I want to watch but that is tedious and probably does not what I want.
My comment is obviously something of a joke. It doesn't really hurt anyone except staunch FortniteBR fans, and we all know they don't have souls so that fine.
> That Youtube is awful. People are awful. Fortnite Battle Royale is awful.
I definitely used the word right, and I recognized you being facetious, but I still agree with you for the most part because there is a nugget of truth in what you said.
> In 2013, the City of Takoma Park, Maryland became the first place in the United States to lower its voting age to 16, for local (but not general) elections and referendums. As of 2018, three additional cities have lowered the voting age to 16: Hyattsville and Greenbelt in Maryland, and Berkeley in California (for school board elections only). In 2018, a bill in the Council of the District of Columbia was proposed to lower the voting age to 16, which would make the federal district the first jurisdiction to lower the voting age for federal level elections.
But yeah, I'm also sold on personalised recommendations.
It’s still better than the pure vomit on this fair site, but it could be soooooop much better if it didn’t try to maximize engagement as the primary goal.
It may also be a warning that folks looking to push social change that teens and young people want so badly should get the hell on youtube and provide worldviews that are not, "The press is bad because it lies and also I hate the 19th amendment."
The trending page isn't algorithmically created. It's curated by google employees.
> That Youtube is awful. People are awful. Fortnite Battle Royale is awful. I don't want to see any of those.
Then don't. I'm sure most people probably think what you are watching is awful. Isn't that the point of youtube. You watch what you are interested in? Do you think we should all be forced to watch what you want?

It's a hybrid.

No, wasn't this the entire premise of my joke explained back to me? If so... I mean... thanks for the review, "liftbigweights."
People who make silly videos are frightening? If you say so.
> It's a hybrid.
No it's not algorithmically determined like you claimed? It's superficially hybrid. Ultimately, the final decision is made by employees.
> No, wasn't this the entire premise of my joke explained back to me?
No. It was a rhetorical question outlining the absurdity of your insistence that content be curated to your personal liking. Okay "kirindave", he who wants everything his own way.
You misread my post and have drawn an incorrect conclusion as to what I meant or intend to say. I do apologise for my part today's round of your confusion, Mr. Lift BigWeights.
But please, sir, I am not a "he" and I'll thank you kindly to take that mis-gendering somewhere where it's welcome. Perhaps a collapsed neutron star? That would be the biggest weight you could lift, indeed.
