I really hate it, YouTube has more restrictions than Cable TV now… I remember when you were allowed to reference the fact that death, bigotry, and sexual assault existed. Now on Youtube you’re only allowed to reference the latter two if you’re PragerU and tying to say these are “Good things ackshaulkly”
When I started regularly using it in 2010 it had the capability of recommending me channels similar to what I already watched. I remember people whining about things that would come to be known as “the algorithm” (the term wasn’t widely used tbf) as early as 2012
The algorithm has been around longer than it hasn’t at this point, even our awareness of it has, were just used to it
“TV” still does just not tv. At least kids I know are streaming descendants zombies victorious. Basically anything with singing and yes a hefty dose of YouTube thrown in.
yt has been around for some 18 years now. there are already adults who grew up with it
YouTube changed. Of cause it always had some kind of algorithm but The Algorithm is relatively new

Yeah, we’ve gone from ‘charlie but me’ to ‘charlie pretends he’s not a Nazi on a clip from fox news’
Did Charlie get his kidney back? That damn Candy Mountain…
Google purchased YouTube in 2006

I can’t put into words how old I feel right now
They seem to be talking about it (and by extension streaming) as a replacement for TV. But TV was still a big thing 18 years ago.
