"I hate when services actually tell people about new features they're offering"
Pushing people to use it (no I'm not going to buy youtube TV or whatever its called, stop asking youtube) is one thing, but simply proffered the option is relatively benign.
They're pushing it to everyone's feed, it's basically advertising. They could "tell people about new features" via press release they don't need to do this.
The exact same number as need to know about color filtering YouTube videos. It's not a meaningful feature, it's fine if nobody hears about it except through clicking around or word of mouth.
My guess is search for toddlers, whose parents handed them a phone to keep busy while they rest or do something else. They're the only demographic that does not know how to spell, or knows too few words to search effectively. But considering the American education system this could also apply to students who are illiterate despite completing the grade every year.
Probably another method of gathering user data for their AI training models.
I no longer think that big media corporations are doing stupid things for no reason because they're dumb
I think they do stupid things because they want another way to train their dumb AI and we're all too dumb, mindless and powerless to say or do anything about it all.
It's crazy when you think about it ... humanity is degrading itself from all corners just to raise an idiot AI child that will be just as messed up as we are.
