We have a winner! I'm subscribed to all of those.

It strikes me that, as YouTube puts its hand into the bag to pull out a marble, there are probably just a lot less marbles than we think, and certainly less marbles worth watching than we think, and far far less worth watching that have been made in the past week?

Additionally, if youtube was forced to only play videos where copyright was proven to belong to the owner of the channel, would it collapse completely.

Is that perhaps what is shrinking the bag of marbles ?

Which interestingly suggests that if we force youtube to actually respect IP, it would reward new creators of quality work more proportionately

Perhaps I should join this cadre as well. The all knowing algorithm has chosen me for the same purpose.

It would be interesting to me to know how many stories in HN trend simply because a group of people were all recommended the same content.

I can't remember another particular instance, but there have been several times where something interesting linked on HN will have another piece of interesting content related to it which will then also be posted here.

It is kind of uncanny that we all have seen this particular video in our recommendations recently. It makes me want to try and create a graph of the connections between all the links.

You do realize that the Internet is a vast AI with whole humans for neurons, don't you? ;-)

And all setup to find the question for the answer 42?

I think we four are in the same Google Bubble. I have watched it just yesterday. The same exact video.
