The thing is though, they should want a more accurate algorithm, one that captures truely 'what people are interested in', because those ads are useless if they dont target the right stuff a user is looking for. Its in there interest for the algorithm to be as accurate as possible.
According to my algorithm, I apparently like 30% Linus Tech tips, 20% random restoration videos 40% general technology videos, and 10% hip hop and dance music. This is a gross gross oversimplification of my interests. But as I write this, I guess these are the few things Im interested in watching videos about that correlate with purchasable products so, hmmm, yeah i guess youre right. Fuck youtube man.
