Why the Damore video without any kind of context? It's like they're trying to push a narrative here.

Just as this HR underling's life is a soulless tedium of selecting stock phrases, that video was chosen automatically (which is to say, even less soullessly) by a context matching algorithm.

Now if you think that a narrative is being pushed here then I have a Rorschach test I'd like you to take.

Or maybe it's fucking stupid to have an automatic system picking related videos and inserting them in posts in a way that makes them look like they're the main video of the post.

Or they have an automated system that inserts semi-relevant clickbait videos into every story.
