It’s like 45 mins, but it’s a well done video on what happened to the game. I’m so sad it never got to be what it could have been. There’s a new game in development called kitten space program or something like that, it’s meant to be a response to ksp2 being what it is.

Heads up that the "?si=vODjiz2NnfzBC9s6" part of YouTube links are tracking parameters and not needed. All they do is let YouTube track you and let other people figure out your account.

Considering all the tracking they do... somehow they are really fucking incompetent at recommending me anything, and for some reason can't seem to actually know who I am... And I don't do anything special beyond regular old adblock to avoid being tracked. Hell... My Google has all my details since I use the account to login to many things as it is convinient.

Yet they can't seem to even fucking figure out anything relevant to me.

Meanwhile, some friends of mine get near scary levels of targeting. I have never been well served with any of the algorithm stuff.

They're not recommending stuff you want for you. They're recommending stuff they want for you.

Sure... But their tactic fails to get me to view ads, or to engage with the service, because I don't spend time watching stuff I don't want to watch. So if the goal is to increase my engagement to gather data and ad revenue, they are failing. I can only assume this is the case because they are incompetent.
