How the YouTube Algorithm Created Logan Paul

I read the youtube algorithm research paper and I think the algorithm created Jake and Logan Paul, but also people like Drew Gooden who are great.
I explain some things about algorithms, how youtube's algorithm works, the biases it has and where we go from here.

This is a great explanation because it makes it clear that there wasn’t any inherent “evil” behind the changes made by KZbin, but also really shows how these changes tend to introduce more problems...followed by more “solutions” and more problems.

Wow, knowing how the "Algorithm" works could potentially be powerful for any creator wanting to make youtube videos. Also, this explains why some videos take off in the beginning. The machine already knows who to recommend the video to initially, but once that burst of an audience is expended it may take a longer time to find that next audience group. Because of this, your personal video statistics will never really reach a stable average view count like videos would back in 2008. This could be good or bad for the creator, because your heavy hitter videos as far as add content go could make loads of money for a while and then halt for a period of time and then resume again. This is why consistency in uploads is key if you want a steady stream of revenue because lets face it ad revenue is important to creators trying to make a living out of their passion.

This is one of the better videos I’ve seen in a while. Great job!

You turned on the stove, it went to a hellman's commercial that was them cooking on a gas stove too. The cut between your burner shot to theirs was really satisfying. Love your videos, going back to older ones now since they're in my recommendations list 🤪

Speaking of algorithms your channel seems to be blessed by it right now. Expect new subscribers, you deserve them.

LOVE the video, but common @ this line: "I took a class in machine learning once, so I'm very qualified to talk about this" :P

This is the best algorithm video on here, it is so nice to hear someone actually explain it and discus what is happening, rather than just complain about it like it's some mysterious black box that hold all one's potential views for no reason at all. Also I think youtube recommended you because of how much Drew Gooden I watch.

If I’m getting recommended against drew I’m doing something right

Damn Jarvis, I didn’t realize how long I’ve been subscribed until I revisited this video. I’m so proud of the content you continue to make, and that you’ve gained so many subscribers. Your hard work shows even in your earlier content. Great work, dear Jarvis.
