the only time i ever click on suggested videos is when it has the next part of the video series i'm watching

the vast majority of the time it has the part of the series i just watched and then nothing that has anything to do with what i'm watching

sometimes it'll have some future episode or the most recent episode instead of the next one in the series. youtube really hates playing videos from oldest to newest and it's dumb

my guesses are
netfix, for being a service that plays "next" videos automatically
vine, for looping the same short clip over and over and listing ridiculous numbers for number of plays
facebook, for autoplaying their own videos and apparently having had more videos uploaded to it than youtube lately.

but the only thing that really fits the new thing is netflix. i don't think facebook plays other videos automatically, just ones posted by your friends that you scroll by.

netflix curates ordered lists
does anyone care about vine numbers that aren't shares
lol if you enable plugins on *.facebook.com

google moved the "Images" link for when you search for something to a dropdown item under "More" because that's certainly a thing only edge cases need regularly

what a loving clownshow

those links immediately below your search query aren't randomized but they are context-specific

I was looking for random poo poo on Amazon yesterday cause I have free Prime for a bit and I found like 5 straight pages of the same item, zero variation or anything, all the same seller. no colour or size variation or anything and no "available in more varieties" button that they have when there's similar products with some small variation.

I gave up pressing "next page" and left

so google has their job cut out for them because the whole rest of the Internet is so well curated already, got ya

it's weird because they definitely have the ability to curate this poo poo, but i guess don't want to offend the one-off special snowflake marketplaces who don't want to be listed in the Other Sellers list, but who will still mark up their product 20% from amazon and add $15 in shipping

There are teams dedicated to tackling this issue. There's simply too much data out there to curate by hand, so automation is leaned on heavily, but that automation can be defeated by very clever or very uninformed sellers.

man, if only amazon could capitalize on a service like mechanical turk. i wonder what the reason is behind those two companies not speaking with each other. it could really be beneficial for each of them imo

my favorite thing is where google will completely refuse to search for a word that is part of a phrase that is much more common

for example say you search "yospos good posters" and all the search results show "yospos bad posters" with bad highlighted as though that was part of the search

yeah you have to either use quotes or click on search tools and select "verbatim" from the all results drop-down
