As one not inclined toward the ultra-right-wing of politics, I see online an embedded video with a "View it on YouTube" toggle. On toggling I get sidebar reccommendations from the recommender engine that do not fit my profile. The system made a mistake.

The system made a big mistake. I think I got somebody else's profile going with the embed. As if the toggle carried the profile of the one who posted the embed in context. Technology is full of surprises, how profiling weighs recommendations. Myself, I never get recommendations like that. It's an entire different world away from me. All I was curious about was what Navarro sounds like, his first half-minute. I got the full sidebar buffet.
