Seriously?

Yeah, def. gross, but thinking about it it isn't really that surprising. I only glanced over the article, but it seems like they are blaming YouTube a bit. Which is strange, you show videos of your young kids to the world, who in the world do you think is going to look at them?

Yea pretty scary. I often wonder how my feed gets to the things I enjoy but then randomly a video will pop up that I don't have interest in. You have to actively say not interested or it will keep feeding that kind of stuff to you. The auto play feature also puts those videos in your history this making th algorithm feed you more. 

It may seem a little   to think it, but I swear they are testing people's attention and tolerance for certain content that they know drives views. Upping the ante each time.

Exactly. People post in fully public and searchable databases and then act shocked when someone they don't want to finds the info. The whole idea of 'privacy' is seriously skewed by some people.

You guys don’t want to know what the algorithm pulls up when you search “GM vs Shuke Eat-Off”.
