You could have at least posted the results to Vimeo. It has excellent summaries and transcriptions available too. Isn’t it a bit contradictory to funnel traffic to Youtube given the subject matter? ;)
Can I get a summary
Yes, some guy was streaming live on YouTube talking about a subject that he does not otherwise have, and he showed that before talking about the subject, there were no ads for dog toys, and after talking about dogs, there were ads about dog toys. The video isn’t really that great because he goes and clicks on an ad about a dog toy and proceeds to get more of them, so he kind of tainted his results.
I wish I didn’t waste my time watching this video
Different but related, I downloaded Gboard to my phone, but mostly use it when I’m practicing on Duolingo… I’ve been getting ads en Espanol. Success!
Fucking hell that was hard to watch.

Let’s analyze that. So there’s 3 things in there.
User mentioned “bish”, which I autocorrected to Bishop. From past records, I can see user is not religious, thus we can assume it’s chess piece. Conclusion: Recommend chess sets and online chess games
Based on "YOU’RE NOT GETTING ANY DATA FROM THIS " the user may be interested in privacy related software and services. Conclusion: Recommend VPNs and E2EE messaging services.
User keeps eating the mic. Conclusion: Recommend dildo.

And I was making a ducking joke involving autocorrect.

Wish these weren’t videos, is there text anywhere?
1st vid: he talks about dog toys and then dog toy ads show up. Concludes Google is listening to him 2nd vid: he realises Google was listening to him because he was livestreaming via Google

But videos are so much better. They can nicely show animations of everything that better explain things like our today’s sponsor, Raid Shadow Legends!

Fuck the whole sponsor shit and that noise, but lets not forget that some people learn and/or understand better by seeing and/or hearing vs reading, and that making information accessible in a variety of formats is a positive thing.
TLDW: that guy was live streaming to YouTube and is surprised that Google is listening
