[@LanTheUltimateForm]

You know its bad wen u start getting Japanese and chinese adverts before your videos

[@Grimmwoldds]

The algorithm. Certain videos get pushed at the very top of your launch page for obscure reasons that only the algorithm knows. They're not paid for, and are peripherally interesting to you based on tags(in this case probably just "music"). I believe the algorithm may be able to figure out who your relatives are, because more than once I've seen my brother play something at his house across town then it pops up on my recommended later that day.

No, they likely disliked it because it fell apart after 1:52. It would have been good if she marked where the tuning posts went when changing tuning because she got it _close_ but it was so out of tune it was painful. Thankfully, it was corrected near the end but that was likely because it was recorded elsewhere at a different time.
