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.
But yeah, I'm also sold on personalised recommendations.

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…
The funny part is: I watch a fair sum of video game content. I used to be part of that industry. The reason the content triggers me is less because of Fortnite Battle Royale (although I think the format is boring, it's less boring than predecessors) is inherently bad but because the people I see there are like... frightening people. > The trending page isn't algorithmically created.

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.

This is such a pretentious comment, but I can't disagree with it. It's not that YouTube is stupid, it's that most people watch really stupid videos and that trending algorithms are a black mirror. Everything you see in trending is the LCD of what average people are interested in. Twitter trends are being dominated by sports I couldn't care less about, Reddit's front page is constantly bombarded with FortniteBR posts,…
Please let people dislike trivial things without calling it "pretentious." 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.

Pretentious (adjective): making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing). > That Youtube is awful. People are awful. Fortnite Battle Royale is awful.

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.
