keep showing viewers the videos that we think they’ll love
We’ll keep profiling you and target you with videos that drive engagement, so largely things that inspire rage or conflict between you and others. Extra points if we drive your political and social views further to the right.
I’ve noticed that with Facebook. Facebook will push conflict to my feed excessively hard, to the point that spending not even 30 seconds there will start making me angry. I refuse to use Facebook at all anymore.
Its nuts to me that we figured out their strategy like 10 years ago and people just chose to ignore that information and kept using all these platforms anyway.
Youtube has just one priority, it wants you to watch as much monetised content as possible. If you watch and engage with those types of videos, it’ll suggest them to you.
I don’t, and I never see them recommended either - here’s my youtube homepage right now.
DIY, electronics, cooking, gaming, science, with some weeb stuff sprinkled in - exactly what I’d expect.

I think the most interesting thing is that you don’t see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.
Edit: case, meet point
