I open the Youtube website. I'm greeted by "recommended" videos, mostly just related videos to ones I've watched recently. Sticking to "recommended" videos basically locks me in to a small cycle of content that is only about 15% of the channels I've actually subscribed to and update regularly (I haven't seen an EEVBlog video in "recommended" in months, even though I've watched tons of his videos in the past).

So I want to see what's new. 6 videos in "recently uploaded," all channels in my "recommended." whatever. I want to see something different.

I go to the subscriptions column. The channels are arranged in a completely random manner. There appears to be no reasoning behind it. Numbers are to the right of the channel names. But what do they mean? I scroll down a bit and find Techmoan, right above Ashens and AvE, naturally, with a "2" next to it. 2 new videos? Nope, I already watched his most recent video 2 days ago.

sup, bitch?
people actually go to YouTube without knowing what they want to see?

the only times I’m ever at YouTube are either because I followed a link someone sent me or because i want to find a video of something specific.

I'd like to picture you jumping up in the air matrix style, legs spread wide...pants just exploding off your body, before going in for the ultimate face rape of yours truly, cock all the way down my throat...violently gyrating your pelvis as you attempt to get enough friction for you to climax without losing your tight grip around my face. legs wrapped around my back, you ejaculate hot ropes of your seed down my throathole like a facehugger alien

The real answer is: nobody runs YouTube. Google makes such a thin margin on adds (or they run it at a loss) that the only real resources they can devote go to pandering to the advertisers. The rest is left to machine learning with as little human intervention as possible

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

They worship algorithms like gods at Google.

I was reading an article about a media company that paid for Gmail and used to forward a ton of poo poo internally. This was flagged as spam and when they called up Google they were told to stop doing that so much and the algo would eventually figure it out.

Vet Ranch, a channel with a Patreon where the donations get used to save animals that are scheduled for euthanasia, apparently started getting some videos removed for "gore" in the surgeries it was showing, so it had to start blurring everything out, or just stopped showing the surgeries.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Guys, I think we can all agree that the biggest victim of youtube is white , conservative men.

Why is the Tech Connections guy even trying? Seems like he wants to make a suburban american version of Techmoan's far superior content (without acknowledging who he's cribbing from) but he's completely without charm and looks constantly pissed off.
