I watched a few videos of people playing Red Dead Redemption 2 – probably about 3-4. Now @YouTube offers me to watch a video titled “Red Redemption 2 – Annoying feminist fed to alligator” in which happens exactly that.

I watch women’s tennis on YouTube sometimes. Men’s, too, but more often women’s because the game is better there.

And from that, YouTube inferred that I want to look at the “world’s sexiest athletes” and some such as that. I wish I could tell the idiotic algorithm to give me videos of what I’d been watching, which is women’s tennis. I never watch anything like the algo suggested on YouTube or anywhere else.

But the algorithm knows best. It’s not the algorithm that is wrong, Google engineers will no doubt tell you; it’s you.

I’d watch tennis on YouTube a lot more if it’d suggest to me things I actually want to see.
