Youtube and their damned algos!
[quote name="Roop"]Whenever I finish watching something over there or post a video to Caltrops, Youtube has been asking me to watch this goth Brazilian band. Why the fuck. Constantly with the suggestion of this band. Everywhere I look, the goth chick staring back at me. You can see her right now. It's creeping me out! Why the fuck? It's not paid for, so strange. Youtube is insisting I watch this. <i>Wanna watch the goths, wanna watch the goths, wanna watch the goths?</i> Fine. So I click it, and... I actually enjoy this! I'll be damned if Youtube wasn't right. I chortle as the dude plaintively moos his forlorn alienation. The chick joins in, and she is magnificent, the way she always looks like she's rolling her eyes even when she isn't rolling her eyes, how does she do it? I go to click the like on this thing... and <i>I've somehow already done so?</i> A tequila fueled night some months ago, I went down a Brazilian goth hole, started clicking in some blackout rage? Anyway, the premise of the video is pretty good. A goth couple work their way through the streets of a typical Brazilian city, and everybody they meet intentionally bumps into them, trying to knock their pathetic asses off their clean thouroghfares, <i>as the Japanese tourists look on in horror.</i> Some of the dudes almost get carried away, and you'd almost feel sorry for the chick anyway. I was hoping it would all end up okay in the end, you know the boy and the girl would walk passes each other, and not try to knock the shit out of each other, stop in shock--then turn and fall in love? Haha I'm sor silly and Hollywood. Or better yet tackled one another? But no man that's too simple man these are fucking goths man. Nah, she found a pleasant brook to sit beside and contemplate her shitty fucking life, and he, that gentleman found a peaceful parkbench amoungst the tweeting birds. But he doesn't feed the fucking birds. Because he's fucking hardcore. Fuck the pathetic tweeting birds! [youtube id="F5ixNXa6Nuc"] Maybe if I post this to Caltrops, Youtube will take the hint and finally stop. Nothing I post here gets suggested. How come maybe some older hits I'd fucking <i>like,</i> O it never suggests? Instead it dredges up that insanity? No, for the songs I'd like--for those, I have to sign a godamn release and then fill out wavers putting me on multiple government watchlists! And does Youtube ever remember and maybe suggest it ever again after all that? On fuck no! I gotta go hunt for it! [youtube id="Z0ZeqBCkRjQ"][/quote]
