That is why their so-called ‘targeted’ advertising is a waste of money; they simply throw everything at users – and see what sticks. I tried analyzing Youtube’s music suggestions, which it claims to ‘retune’ every time you reject one, and determined that their sole criterion is “likes music” and they define music as everything from Agricola to ZZ Top. It’s all pretty much the exact opposite of the “specifically tailored to your tastes” claims made.
