    It’s crazy how the algorithm isn’t even good, it’s just effective at generating watch time on average. It tries to push you towards addictive trash constantly, whether you watch it or not. I learned rust and got “why rust sucks” and “why rust is the best language” about 25 times now despite never watching videos like that, because maybe THIS time I’ll get ragebaited.

      Oh, the algorithm is good, it’s good at generating watch time. That’s it’s purpose. It serves the company, not you.
