Today's my first normal day since back from a Family Reunion over Easter Week. Well, yes, that was interesting. Have recovered.

Exposed to new set of Conspiracy Theories. Many being repeated by some well educated, objectively intelligent family members — not just those meeting neither preceding descriptor.

Did have some interesting discussions about how such dreck came to be believed. YouTube was the most oft cited source. Many who said this also complained about the sorts of things that showed up as suggestions on their own YT pages. We agreed that the Almighty YT AlgoGod was to blame.

On YT this morn, whilst watching my New Favourite live-stream (a Stork Nest in Germany), I became aware of the Suggestions being presented and immediately recalled those discussions.

These particular suggestions were clearly based on clips I had previously watched, along with a couple of new ones of similar vein. Of course, that is precisely how the AlgoGod is supposed to work.

I’ve decided to share the screenshot made at that moment of awareness. The plan was to send it to some family. I then decided to share it with DU family as well.
