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.

Apparently my way of consuming YT is very different from most people. I do rely on subscriptions feed, but I have never used notifications. The feed still works perfectly - for me at least.

Just out of curiosity. Why do you need notifications? Do you try to watch the videos as soon they are posted?

Youtube notifications drives me mad. I will see the video I was when I get around to loading next, I don't need to be told the nano second they upload
