I'm sorry. It was late at night here and my phrasing was imprecise.
I was referring to the kinds of recommendations I would get when I logged into YouTube. Like, you log in and there is a whole page of recommended videos they've compiled, based on what I've seen in the past.
I think that, based on my past searches, YouTube believes I am a Scottish hooligan who likes to look at Polish-language cat videos.
I searched for my name and after a couple of videos I'd posted of some friends' wedding, well, let's just say if your username contains the word 'sex' it's not going to be pretty.
The videos recommended for me by YT feature George Clooney and kittens. YT knows me so well. But they're not together, just separate GC and kitten videos. I would probably die of ecstasy if there was a video of George Clooney petting some kittens. Or kittens gambolling over a nekkid George Clooney ...
According to youtube I'm not even me. There's some other pompomtom out there who keeps getting password reminders... or perhaps I just signed up with a mailinator address - who knows?
