I really hate it, YouTube has more restrictions than Cable TV now… I remember when you were allowed to reference the fact that death, bigotry, and sexual assault existed. Now on Youtube you’re only allowed to reference the latter two if you’re PragerU and tying to say these are “Good things ackshaulkly”
The Algorithm has been A Thing long enough to have impacted young adults during their formative years.
At 25 I’m barely old enough that I entered adolescence just as “youtuber” became a career for many people (around 2012ish). The Algorithm has been part of it all my teens though I witnessed it becoming increasingly eldritch throughout and teaching its final untethered form in the second half of the 2010s. Today’s 20 year olds never knew anything else as they were 13 when elsagate was in full swing.
YouTube changed. Of cause it always had some kind of algorithm but The Algorithm is relatively new
Yeah, we’ve gone from ‘charlie but me’ to ‘charlie pretends he’s not a Nazi on a clip from fox news’
Did Charlie get his kidney back? That damn Candy Mountain…

TL;DR how are your knees grandpa?
My knees are fine, thanks, but my back hurts
