Explaining how the YouTube Algorithm actually works, according to official sources

I got tired of hearing "bro science" explanations of how the YouTube algorithm works. It was especially frustrating that no one could cite a source for the information they were giving. So I spent two weeks researching the algorithm myself, using only official sources from YouTube and Google.

In the end, I consulted 23 different sources (video, forums, and publications) and wrote an 11 page paper on the topic.

For the low price of $1 I'll answer any and all specific questions you have about the YouTube algorithm according to my citation-based research. DM me here on reddit if you might be interested. Thank you

Here's a screenshot of my sources. Feel free to spend two weeks going through them yourself. Or you can just ask me ;p https://i.imgur.com/3e1otqs.png
