Okay it is time to not be so serious.
I iron in my house. I quite like it. One day I decided to put on youtube and I think chose the allman brothers. This led me to understanding once the song I chose was finished it went on to other songs in that genre. It was great. I simply ironed and if I did not like the song I fast forwarded it to the next one.
Some time later I discovered the rest is history. I went through WW1 and the rise of the nazis and then the rest is politics suddenly arrived. Again I liked this and then just as suddenly various podcasts centred on US politics arrived. Wow I thought so many podcasts on youtube and so little time.
Then last week suddenly there was the classic opera duet the pearlfishers. Where did that come from? Naturally I listened to it and wella a whole bunch of arias and duets from opera were there as were some classical pieces of classical music. Then Bruce Hornsby arrives with various versions on the way it is. How did it know this is one of my favourites.
Thus I can understand the workings of an algorithm on most occasions but not all the time . Can algorithms take a punt sometimes? I do not have a smartphone and will never have one. I only have my desktop computer so youtube will only be my experience with algorithms. It has been interesting
