Algorithms are breaking how we think - Technology Connections (youtu.be)

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.

(the bell) and it doesn't even fucking work 100% of the time. I subscribe to and have notifications enabled for about 13 channels that upload every single day; I only get notified like once a month

Do you have it set to "All", or to "Personalized"?

I don't really care about most notifications, so I leave them on "Personalized", which lets the algorithm decide when to send one. The few channels I've set to "All", seem to notify me every time.
