Yeah, I know, line goes up when taking the population average. Must even point in the direction of ads watchers and clickers. Taking into account the shitty videos this cost function promotes, I honestly get a little proud of this algorithm not working for me.

Would be nice for us to have a little more control and transparency over where the AI is taking us, though, specially for us YouTube Premium payers.

I’m sure if YouTube PMs could they would mail you cocaine if it made you watch enough ads.
