One of the most fascinating aspects of the Youtube end-user experience is the multifaceted approach in the creation and sharing compelling videos. As users enjoy the latitude to combine pop-culture with politics, searching for specific content can transform a mundane day into an intriguing, educational and in some cases a disturbing journey. Thanks to Youtube algorithms, a simple and forthright request can evolve into a treasure hunt marked by innumerable trivialities.
