Reminds of how Delta Heavy - Ghost got recommended to many people on YouTube recently, because the ever-present soulless algorithm detected people mentioning Clippy, engaging with videos mentioning Clippy, putting Clippies as their profile pictures, etc. - despite the fact that the entire Clippy surge is entirely against the endless data vacuuming and the algorithmisation of everything.

I really hate what data has become for the modern consumer at large - something's everybody after to try and capitalize for, at an active disadvantage for you.

Cue the still growing thirst for more control, more data, more censorship.
