npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) Data point: My eldest daughter likes to watch documentaries while she does her cross-stitch and embroidery. For a while she was just letting YouTube recommend the next video for her on autoplay. She would start out watching something like new discoveries about pre-Cambrian crinoids, or Marie Curie's discoveries, or Nikola Tesla, and it was seldom more than about six to eight recommendations down the line before YouTube was offering her videos on Real Ghost Hunters, or how ancient astronauts built the Pyramids, or how NASA is secretly developing alien faster-than-light technology recovered from Roswell at Area 51.
