Deep Neural Networks for YouTube Recommendations
Mine seem like they have gotten a lot more click-baity. I wonder if that's an artifact of their optimization goal.

If people fall for the click bait(they do), then they get more views from optimizing for it. It would be more surprising if an optimization algorithm for views didn't favor this.

Probably some part of it is that there's more clickbait videos being created now, which is making them get more views.
It's a vicious clickbaity cycle.
