This video was more informative than I expected it would be. The first part did not grab my attention because I have heard this information elsewhere but, when I learned that even when signing out, my search results are tailored to fit me I was much more engaged because I have never heard that before. I have known about websites giving you search results based on your activity on other websites and your interests but I originally thought that by signing out, the algorithm would not know my preferences and would just give me the standard search results. I think this video applies to me because the content I get in my “filter bubble” are things that I like and take interest in. Since I like the content I am being shown I do not venture out to find other media. I agree that as someone who consumes media, I need to be informed about the algorithms these websites use and to see content that can make me uncomfortable.
