Youtube Is Really Good
« on: September 20, 2018, 03:16:33 PM »
at click-bait these days.  I am into workout videos, and youtube's answer to that seems to always suggest workout videos of black women with ample butts.  Problem is when you check those out, you end up tweaking the engine to suggest even more of the same.  The upside is now I know quite a few amazing glute exercises to add to my routine.

Problem is this leads to funnelling, if you do a video critical of trump, trumpsters won't see it in their suggested videos, they will continue seeing trump calling Hillary crooked

Yeah, that is problematic.  There should be some balance between serving users what they like and what is generally out there.

So, some ample butts are suggested, and you check them out.   Then Youtube decides you like ample butts and suggests some more.   You check out those too.  Then Youtube ... You could just stop obsessing over ample butts---black man's kryptonite---and go back to your workouts.    :D

Windy, good to hear the glute exercises are working. I bought myself a smart scale today from Costco and was horrified to learn I was obese.

I have even been getting Khaddi Sagnia videos because I like athletics.  The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak  :D.  Youtube exploit that to great effect.

I have noticed guys tend to work on areas that they can see in the mirror and neglect those they can't see.  The result is a front-heavy development resulting in imbalances that do increase the risk of injuries.  The glute bridge has been a revelation.  I tend to it away from the gym though.
