Most of the time the YouTube algorithm sucks. But sometimes it does the opposite of suck.

Today it showed me a video called "Reviewing a guitar but I know nothing about guitars"


What is that, the Wii Virtual Console music playing in the background? I think that's what it is...

She's fairly cute in that nerdy way, with a gorgeous smile -- and it's a charming act, but it does get a bit stale/boring after a couple of minutes.

Given her subscription rate and video viewing and engagement rate, she seems to be doing well.

I'm sure YouTube is full of stuff like that.

The algorithm is so bad for me, usually I “discover” videos or creators that already have thousands of likes. It’s clearly against creators at this point. Styx mentioned recently that now if you make more than one video a day, it won’t push it forward at all
 


She also does nerd shit for those of you who only click on nerd shit.

OMG the sound of this instrument and the way she plays it. Just flashes of a fantasy setting like Skyrim going through my mind lol.

What a beautiful sound. Thank you very much for sharing this.

*EDIT: I can honestly fall asleep to these beautiful sounds 😍

I liked youtube for those video essays about gaming, along the lines of Max Derrat, Noah Gervais Caldwell or whatever and Luke Stephen's, but lately all that's showing up in my recommended is detransitioning videos and people removing pus pockets from horse hooves and shit. That, combined with the fact that my internet footprint is apparently just wildn' out so YouTube is giving me ads for heart medication and toothpaste in Spanish, and I wonder just what kind of person the AI overlord thinks I am. Very existential.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.

TBH as content improves on TikTok the algorithm has the potential to kick YouTube’s ass. You do have to train it by searching otherwise you get nothing but dance videos but I’ve found it’s great for cooking and other stuff too.

YouTube has done well again. I posted this video in the "What are you listening to" thread:



This is the only version of this song that I knew of. I have a copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Soundtrack that I found at a discount store years ago and that is the version that it includes. But playing that video, it showed me something I'd never know. The different movements in this track are actually different pieces, Shredder's Suite is a medley, and there are extended versions of the different movements with different mixes. There's an entirely different album called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Original Motion Picture Score.

John du Prez - Shredder's Big Entrance


John du Prez - Tatsu Attack


John du Prez - Crimewave


John du Prez - Battles with the Foot


John du Prez - Huge Fight


John du Prez - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


John du Prez - Subway Attack

Rest Rest On the halfshell its the heroes 4 on this day and age who could ask for more.


In this day and age who could ask for more?
The crime wave is high with muggings mysterious
All police and detectives are furious
Cause they can't find the source
Of this lethally evil force
This is serious so give me a quarter
I was a witness, get me a reporter!
Call April O'Neil in on this case, and
You'd better hurry up, there's no time to waste!
We need help, like quick, on the double
Have pity on the city, man it's in trouble!
We need heroes like the Lone Ranger
When Tonto came pronto, when there was danger
They didn't say they'd be there in half an hour
Cause they displayed...Turtle Power!

Now our ace reporter was hot on the trail
Determined to put these crooks in jail
She spied the bad guys and saw what happened
But before she knew it, she fell in a trap and got caught!
Yeah, she was all alone
With no friends, and no phone
Now this was beyond her worst dreams
Cause she was cornered by some wayward teens
Headed by Shredder they were anything but good
Misguided, unloved, they called them The Foot
They could terrorize and be angry youths, and
They mugged the people. Who needed proof?
Then from out of the dark came an awesome sound!
Shouted "Cowabunga!" as they hit the ground
From the field of weeds the heroes rescued the flower
Cause they possessed...Turtle Power!

Heroes on a half shell, they're on a mission
When there's a battle got the enemy wishin'
That they stayed at home, instead of fightin'
These ninja masters with moves like lightnin'
They were once normal, but now they're mutants
Splinter's the teacher so they are the students
Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Donatello
Make up the team with one other fellow
Raphael. He's the leader of the group
Transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop
Pizza's the food that's sure to please
These ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese

Back to the story, it's not hard to find
Ninjas not just of the body but of the mind
Those are the words that their master instructed
But a letter from Shredder has Splinter abducted
That was the last straw, spring into action
Step on The Foot, now they're gonna lose traction
Now this is for real, so you fight for justice
Your shell is hard so you shout, "They can't dust us off!
Like some old coffee table."
Since you've been born you've been willing and able
To defeat the sneak, protect the weak
Fight for rights and your freedom to speak
Now the villain is chillin' so you make a stand
Back to the wall, put your sword in your hand
Remember the words of your teacher, your master:
Evil moves fast, but good moves faster
Than light, shining for your illumination
Good versus evil equals confrontation
So when you're in trouble
Don't give in and go sour
Try to rely on YOUR...Turtle Power!

It's as close to perfect as can be.

I expected this to be a thread when you randomly get suggested a long jump or pole vault video, with millions and millions of views and the comment section is filled with fine well cultured gentleman discussing the fantastic rears on display.
