Let us talk about You Tube. One of many apps I love along with many other people. You Tube is an app that allows people to watch different types of videos such as cooking, make-up, and even weird challenges. You Tube allows people to stay up to date with this fast changing generation and allows us to just watch something when we are bored and on the go and watch a show that can be 15 seconds to even 10 hours. You Tube has all types of videos for every person.
Now youtube might be cool in all but it is also kind of creepy. As you watch videos it analyzes that and allows videos more like that to pop up into your feed because they think you like that. I mean that is cool and all like if you don't really think about that you think wow that is so convenient You Tube is so generous for adding this. But if you think about it, You Tube is only doing this so that you can stay on the app longer so it can make money and how does youtube know the people you like to watch? Is it watching our every move? Kind of creepy right?

In all seriousness You Tube is such a great app used by many people to watch videos they enjoy. And not only that You Tube is a useful app that can help students learn math or other subjects and teach people how to make a dinner in 5 minutes and all sorts of things. I myself, as well as other people, use You Tube to keep up with all the news that is happening on social media.
Wondering how Youtube knows what you want to watch is silly, aren't you subscribed to channels so youtube can show you what you want to see? Furthermore, the watch next list is based off of similar videos to what you are currently watching, it simply uses tags and creator filters to find similar content to what you're seeing. The recommended feed does much the same thing, granted, it needs to know your watch history to do this, but if you clear watch history, things based on it disappear. It also has a tendency to show mostly random videos, but that's just to increase your time on the site. I know some drama is fabricated, but with the James Charles thing in particular I think the issue was more of the drama culture encouraging Tati to call out James, and also her general sudden anger causing her not to think straight.
