Is there a name for the fear that watching a random video on YouTube will cause YouTube flood your 'recommendations' list with similar videos? <\/p>\n
There should be.<\/p>\n
For example, that one video I watched about a boat getting swamped by a monster wave was pretty cool - but now half of YouTube's recommendations are about boats, ships, sailing, oceanography, etc., and I just don't care about that stuff. I can tell YouTube to not recommend them, one at a time. But that's a drag.<\/p>\n
Likewise, clicking an item on Amazon out of curiosity leads Amazon to start recommending everything related to that item.<\/p>\n
It's like that time when you were 13 and you made an off-hand remark about thinking that one song on the radio was cool, and then your aunt gave you records from that band every birthday and Christmas for six years.<\/p>\n
You should be able to casually look at something without being tagged as someone who needs to see a dozen more examples of that same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
