If you have a Gmail or YouTube account on your phone or computer, Google pays app companies and they also spy on every aspect of you life. They (a computer) listens to everything you say and or search for. They listen when you’re near your device even if it’s in your pocket. You agree to these terms when you purchase your phone or use YouTube, the terms are buried in the contract. If you’ve even watched a scene free m a movie with a gun in it, they lump that into a category. It could be even if you search another website they are watching.
And it might not even be stuff you look at, but what a majority of people that watch maybe the same stuff you do and they skew the suggestions that way. Don’t take offense, it’s just Big Brother acting like Big Brother.
What I think is different is the ability(or will to use that ability) to weaponize it.
Familiar with the bulk spam business model?
Fire off millions of emails, hope for a few dozen hits. The tries don't cost anything, and any hit is a win.
So fire off lots of subliminal messages thru YT thumbnails. Turn it into a 4 panel subliminal meme. Do memes work? Well you only need to 'trigger' some impressionable viewers to generate a news event to suit your needs.
Is YT doing this? I have no idea.
Could they? Im sure they could AND improve on my scenario a million times.
If they could, and they can sell that ability, would they?
Would you? What would your price be? What if they got to your family?

That what I assumed the status quo was for years.
