If I could speak candidly, I hope the role of mental illness and particular certain forms of schizoaffective psychosis and recommendations aren't lost on the people at companies like youtube/ which will only become more important over time. I'm embarrassed to say but is completely true that I've had psychotic episodes where certain patterns in recommendations have manifested in very bizarre real world behaviors. Nothing particularly harmful, but bizarre.  I'm certainly not blaming anyone for my problems, but I just hope it's not completely lost on them either. Its admittedly a very niche problem.
