I’m hopefully wrong because it might have GDPR implications, but on the other hand they’re probably using an LLm and once theyre on the back of that tiger they cnt let go of the tail.

Yeah I didn’t even know who he was until a few months ago. Yet he is the top channel.

YouTube/Google knows who you are and has a profile of you and your interests no matter what you do.

You have to truly obfuscate your identity to escape it.

By getting butthurt from seeing objectionable content it is still interaction and the algorithm links it to you. Your likes and dislikes are both part of your identity and they know that and use it.

Because interaction with the website is all that matters, happy or angry they don’t care.

In fact, they probably prefer you to be butthurt because you are more engaged.
