A slightly unusual video from the fantastic Technology Connections channel. It articulates a lot of my own thoughts on social media, “algorithms” and AI.
What surprised me the most was the statistic that only 3% of author’s views come from the subscriptions feed. This is wild to me because subscriptions are pretty much the only way I have ever used YouTube.
Serious question: radicalize in what way?
I generally skip ALL propaganda videos longer than 10 seconds, no matter the orientation or product advertised. It’s my BS detector from years of watching TV as a kid. (Only exception is when I want to see the latest trends in ad techniques, and analyze them).
I honestly wonder how does a radicalization process look like. 🤔
