YouTube Regrets
I gotta say this is terrifying. Not because Mozilla is trying to hold YouTube responsible for not doing a better job fine-tuning their addiction-machine (who hasn&#x27;t found themselves sucked into the one-more-video vortex) but because we&#x27;re now happy to blame some algorithm for our shortcomings and take no personal responsibility for our actions.<p>I personally went through a 3-month journey starting from travel videos to getting sucked into the &quot;look how awesome mirrorless cameras are and all the beautiful content I can create with them&quot; and ended up spending about 15k on camera gear (body, lenses, gimbals, lights, etc). I eventually managed to reign myself in but I didn&#x27;t think I can now turn around and blame Google or some algorithm for spending far more than I should have. Shouldn&#x27;t I be accountable for my own actions and lack of impulse control instead of expecting a corporation with an ad-revenue business-model to do it for me?
