youtube vids that ---- wat

[Dandolin]

yeah, so youtube's rec algo is like infuriatingly scattershot much of the time. for every decent rec i get 2 that actually piss me off and an uncountable number to which my inevitable response is

take this pearl from yesterday:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8a4c3IyYQU

couldn't figure a place on here where this fit
search engine'd it
nothing?
maybe there's a reason?
never stopp'd me before
but it did yesterday

then, youtube recommended another one from this channel
maybe they're on to something

now i know there are more wat-er recs out there
randomerer
dumberer
whateverer
maybe post yours?

[Dandolin]

eh, just gonna frontload this thing a lil before it dies

edit:

well, maybe youtube is catching my drift:

the only fail here is: what took the bass player so f'in' long?
[tho, tbt, there are failures nestled within failures here, in infinite regression ]

I ...sometimes get peculiar recommendations but mostly it stays to sound topics like "the history o cinnamon" and "how to play yu-gi-oh in 3 minutes". Today, however agent Smith decided I needet to be informed about concrete construction?

i've been getting stuff like this:

I blame that one Veritasium link I hit in a moment of weakness back in October

[qersty]

I think ive seen that one too but that is probably cause i watched a good amount of videos about trucks for a while. i even get ads from scania

[Dandolin]

the algo has been particularly insistent that i watch this for the past coupla months

i finally succumbed, and, hey looky there- dat Hamer in the corner - it's all coming clear

Heartfelt story of a man and his lobster

[Chankgeez]

I've been gettin' that lobster rec too. Haven't watched it yet.

Maybe because I've been watchin' lots of history vids, I keep gettin' this:

Also, have yet to watch.

Youtube seems pretty decent to me.
I got a bunch of stuff relating to the James Webb Space Telescope. Dennis Kayzer's top 15 pedals for 2021 (did not know he was still active). Obscura live. And something about Jussi Björling. Also some 3D shipwrecks. That feels a little off. And Jussi Björling. But nothing that makes me go whaaaa??!

[Dandolin]

G doing it right - no surprise

just started seeing that Midway link the other day - don't have the slightest bit of anything substantive in ma hist'ry (unless i hit a link trail left by you guys )

also, no shit, i do work involving, aot, the Goddard Space Center for my day dollas but we never talk about that 'scope

Youtube keeps rec'ing wack-ass "IDW" vids, probably because I watch Jimmy Dore sometimes. Is Lex Fridman the most boring guy on earth or wat?

I knew you were Gedda-gang

i have never interacted wih anything getting near tennis

[Heraclitus Akimbo]

I thought I would have nothing to contribute to this — my recommended vids are usually logical extensions of stuff I've looked at... then this high school announcement from Phoenix showed up today:

[Dandolin]

that is high-level wat H.A.

i definitely feel the bonus when your wat activates my inner wat

also, both my wife and i are separately getting the rebar/concrete reinforcement rec now - spreading the disease
