Indeed. Which standard do you, gentle Slashdot read, want: * Videos that people want to put up, and that people want to see; or * A curated selection of videos that are best for you, as judged by your betters
We know that oppressive governments the world round demand the second option. Which should you demand?

How about I want to see what *I* want to see? Youtube's recommendations are garbage I don't care about what other people are watching just because we share a mutual subscription. My homepage is blanketed with shit I don't care about, and in the meantime I have to dig down into my list of 100+ subscriptions just to find new videos posted by the channels I've explicitly told Youtube that I'm interested in.
Your false dichotomy is bad and you should feel bad, and everyone modding you up is a drooling retard.
