Is the internet's algorithms giving you what you want?

YouTube is now telling us what we should need to watch rather than what we actually want to watch.

[loveslongnails]

I don't really respond to the algorithms much. I come on line, I do or get what I need, and then I leave. Ads or promotions are all blocked.

[mat566]

Yes, everytime

[Nikki1989]

Yes, it knows me all too well. People complain and whine about the nonsense they see online. They must have a different internet to me because I rarely see any of the garbage everyone seems to be watching.

[mat566]

True. Even when you turn off different settings they still know what you are doing and gives you what you want

[mat566]

Thanks for the MHO

Only when im focused and im looking for real answers it come to me in baby steps

It's still a tool that is ran by the people who are making us try to forget who we are

Kinda like big Pharma

Who has come up with many cures to keep people alive

But they sell their products less than the things that they have found out to do that so you stay dependent on their fake medicines

And then you have independent people come out with herbs and things that really work put them on the Internet and sell them so now big Pharma does the same thing

Because they're losing money in many different Avenues so now they come on the internet pretending to be somebody that has invented something just so you buy the new placebo drug so they're making money still

It's all a control issue and I believe that you are smart enough to work your way through it and to figure it out because that's what we're all trying to do

[ohsheeT]

I was thinking about something and I have to say in many ways yes no matter what it is on the internet I choose to either watch it or not

Just like I choose which questions I answered on here or not

Because what I read in that moment on a question or an answer it becomes a part of me whether I believe it or not but it does

Same with you same with you when you read a question on here and it's usually between 1:00 to 5 of these different guys about stupid ass sex questions and you're trying to explain to them grow the fuck up because once you read that it is now in your conscience and it changes who you are in that moment and you're telling them to stop because you don't want to read that in one way you're helping them by saying grow the fuck up little boy but they don't understand that and it's the same time you're saying stop because we are one conscious and what we read what enters into our brain into our heart we become that until we get out of that

I have always said since day one I was here we are all here for a reason and one day we will understand that we are all one and everything we do on this format either helps or hurt somebody depending on who they are and how far we are grown

I can say that now But in the beginning I always said This is the place it's going to show me How far the people In America have come who they are And what our world is all about It is a Measuring tool

I know I'm being datamined. Some of the ads that pop-up, or the emails I get, are interesting, and sometimes useful. Most of them are not.

[Nikki1989]

Brave Browser with security settings set to aggressive + UBlock Origin Lite is your best option.

[AngryCarl3]

If you mean YouTube, no. I get a constant diet of slop and clickbait.

[Nikki1989]

It only works if you sign into an actual YouTube account. I discover new and old bands almost every day when I sign into my account.

[AngryCarl3]

Oh I have an account, I just get shallow chess content and someone's political agenda.

[andreasderjuengere]

They mostly get me wrong.

And: purposely so until now.

I can't stop ''them'' to analyse me - but I can put them on the wrong track.

[Abbycado]

I’ve found it depends on what and how I search for stuff. Generally, yes.

[MrChinaski]

Netflix tends to recommends that I watch movies I have watched on Netflix. That's one sophisticated, thoroughly-researched, carefully-tuned, emotionally-sensitive, psychological-theory-driven, real-world-tested algorithm right there.

[xawyx-3]

Not always, they "glitch" very often :/

[NathanDavis]

I actually use YouTube... outside of google, precisely because of this

[Saddlebread]

Sometimes they can, at least temporarily, thwart a search.

[RachyRach]

Nah it gives me what I NEED haha

[bear34]

Mostly yes.
