Edit:

The poll stopped me in my tracks but it’s actually even worse.

It should not take this long to get to imdb

Edit2: didn’t even realize it thinks I’ll “love it” based on things I look up. I don’t think I’d like it.

Edit³: IMDb was the example I used without thinking. I’m aware that there’s a link to it in the top card. It’s the other web results that I don’t already know about that I’d like to see. I now know there’s a hidden “web” tab. There’s also https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=example` but it’s still mildly infuriating that you have to know about these things to get the basic results we expected for years.

    They’re throwing shit at the wall I guess. Last week I got this in my YouTube feed:

          Simple questions with known answers might be a way to weed out malicious/untrustworthy responders.

            Yes, control questions, in a form, with 20 other open-ended questions which answers actually have value.

            This is solely for engagement. Trivia questions have no value for training models.

        I doubt it. They know I’m into audio production and this is kind of a softball question. Maybe if they start giving me more advanced ones.

      Great, now they’re going to start giving us exams before we’re allowed to watch a video.
