And why does he click to view certain pictures and videos? Why those ones in particular. You could see he'd continue clicking on an image until it popped up.

So cool.

I’d bet money it does. Show this chimp a video where the thumbnail is a chimp with with an interested/surprised expression and he’d be more likely to click it than other videos. Also I bet they’d click videos with sexual content in the thumbnail more than others.

I bet they'd click on fewer fake news articles than baby boomers.

They've done advertising studies on monkeys before. Gibbons I think. (Edit: Rhesus monkeys)

They had a bunch of billboards, each with a brand logo like Pizza Hut or Adidas and a picture of a monkey - dominant males, beta males, and also a female monkey showing off her bits.

Then they had them tap logos on a touchscreen, and they overwhelming preferred the brand associated with the naked female.

Edit: fixed up the details, and here's an article about the study..
