A recommended video is very wrong:

The reason of this so wrong recommended video, the “Baby snail baby tomato”, is purely innocent and cute video:

At first, I thought how could YouTube recommended me a cruelty video, stepping on a stuffed toy comparing to a little snail on a tiny tomato. When I clicked on the video, this was what I saw:

You should be able to sense how wrong this video is from the camera angle, but I knew from the beginning of the video. The way the girl looked at camera and the view pointing down at her clothes, plus how she held the toy.

I’m no saint, but this video shouldn’t be on YouTube, there is a place for this kind of video. Because I realized this is more than a video of simple sexual video, but also a fetish video. Just take a look of the lower sidebar, those suggestions should tell you enough.

Two weeks ago, I made of short clip about a bug and few issues with YouTube recommendation system. Now, repetition seems like an Okay to me after this fetish video recommendation. I checked the baby snail video, the video doesn’t have description or keywords. Basically, it only has the video title for the matching, same as this fetish video. How YouTube matched two together is really beyond me.

Earlier today, I was so fed up by repeated recommendations and videos or certain channels videos that I don’t want to watch. So I finally decided to write a simple script to filter out already recommended videos and videos I don’t want to watch. But I wasn’t able to proceed because the registration page for developer key is 404.

By the way, Google+ now have conquered YouTube. Almost two years ago, I said:

This is how the future is, Google+ centralized.

I was right, although “centralized” doesn’t sound accurate. What I meant was everything by Google has to be connected to Google+. Well “connect” is kind way to put it, “control” is more like the right word.

I think in the beginning, Google Reader started to use Google+ comments, then Picasa Web Albums got absorbed into Google+, then Blogger integrated (kind way to put it) Google+ comments, now it’s YouTube to face its fate. No doubt in my mind that this isn’t going to stop, but who will be next?

Internet is getting worse and worse everyday for me, people don’t care about quality anymore. All they do is spamming, no accuracy, no responsibility, just type something and send out. They don’t care what they write, they don’t mind what button they click. They say they do, but actions tell a different story.
