@TechConnectify Great video. Long reply incoming.

To add to your data - I don't have a YT account so I subscribe to your RSS feed, that's primarily where I click on videos. No clue how that's counted, or if there are any engineers left at YouTube that remember the RSS feeds are still silently churning away in the background.

On your news comment: In the past decade I've noticed more clickbait-like editing from places like the BBC, which is shocking considering the primary audience is not served ads, and therefore there is no reason to, you know, maximise clicks. Common offenses are posing answerable questions in titles, nowhere near as bad as the issues you cite, but still...

On the last point about the potential upsides of "AI", even when people understand there's more ML than chatbots, I think people overestimate how much this is going to help. Even with an ML churning out new proteins and analysing medical scans faster, you still need human doctors / nurses delivering "last mile" medical care, and that's where I think the major bottlenecks are.
