Youtube's algorithm for me is a perfect example of what a poor ranking algorithm looks like.

I subscribe to a number of mainstream, local news feeds as well as our government's daily COVID updates. And ocassionally I will do a Google search for random terms. And yet somehow at least a few times a week I will be recommended some obscure news source often indeed with conspiracy or some ultra-right wing edge.

I very much sympathise with the challenge that Facebook's data scientists have to deal with. Incredible hard problem to solve.
