Gregory's Server@AmyZenunim I'm incredibly late to the party on this post, but after reading the responses I have a question. Why are so many people seemingly angry over this "feature?" On its face it does in fact seem useless, but still. Maybe some teams were having some fun, or it's a small piece from a more complex recognition engine? Who knows. There are many reason to be critical of, or even angry at Google, but for this?

@AmyZenunim That's an interesting point. I agree that Google is 100% untrustworthy, and as I mentioned, I too think the filters may be part of a larger project. However, many of the responses seem angry over the "stupidity" of the filters and nothing else. |
@marlinspike it's because Google has absolutely lost all good faith when it comes to "fun" features like this. I have seen brilliant creators become severely hampered in their ability to do their work because of opaque, esoteric, undocumented changes to the "algo" that make it very difficult for people to find their videos.
this feels like just another arbitrary filter to add onto the mountain of arbitrary filters that can potentially have your videos hidden by the recommendation engine, all because you didn't use one of the three primary colours as the lighting in your video.
