Being apparently based around YT and its ilk (if you can call them that), I wonder if some participants will gripe about some of the recent changes Google's instituted. The one's that's my pet peeve is fairly obvious from the moment you stop in there: instead of vids organized by your subscriptions or a given channel or topic, which allowed for unsubbing or asking to have the topic or channel not be recommended to you, they're just tossed at you kinda willy-nilly, with no opportunity to change anything unless a specific vid is selected, which in YT admins' view implies interest unless you choose to report it for something, which those admins reserve the right to reject out-of-hand... They must have had to endure a larger-than-average amount of "nanny" accusations in the last year, 'cuz their attitude has turned into that of a "toughlove" parent, saying "if you don't like a topic / channel / creator, don't click on those vids..." except, if they're just hoping the recommendation algorithm somehow fixes itself, will that actually occur?
