Please read the above article before Monday. I want you to type up and hand in your responses to these questions:
1. Why is "engagement" so important to YouTube executives?
2. What are the problems with YouTube's recommendation engine, and how would you propose to solve those problems if you were running YouTube?
3. What are some of the problems of using algorithms to filter content?
4. If you were drafting guidelines for what kind of videos would be listed as "borderline" content, what would be some of your criteria for defining "borderline" content?
