About

YouTube Recommendation Algorithm is the automated neural-network-based recommendation algorithm used by YouTube to suggest videos to its users. Online, the algorithm has been a subject of debates and jokes, particularly due to YouTube repeatedly suggesting weird and often many-years-old videos to a large number of viewers, which subsequently gain millions of views in a matter of days.
