dating website okay Cupid has openly admitted to conducting experiments on its users and social experiments the service like many other dating sites displays a match rating which calculates the compatibility between users based on their profiles and while the rating is fairly accurate OkCupid co-founder Christian rudder has been having some thoughts maybe it works just because we tell people it does maybe people just like each other because they think they're supposed to I sent some mind games coming on get out of my head jobs test their theory the site falsified the match ratings for some users to see how it would affect their interaction sure enough highly compatible couples who were ranked at just thirty percent compatibility only exchanged a couple messages before the conversation fizzled out whereas incompatible users who were shown having a ninety percent compatibility wouldn't shut the hell up because they thought they were soulmates Oh dating commercials are already bad enough we don't need them getting any more awkward the site said that we were ninety percent match so we started chatting and here we are I'm not gay by the end of the experiment rotor was clearly able to deduce that if you have to choose only one or the other the mere myth of compatibility works just as well as the truth controversial tests such as this one raised the question if there's a line to be crossed when experimenting on users and where that line is we need to set some boundaries people what's next our dating sites going to start posting fake profile pictures oh aight everyone already does that depending it's a scary place folks one minute you could be chatting with the suggested love of your life and the next you can find out at your mom try sleeping now bro Electronic Arts everyone's favorite dev and publisher recently launched their beta of EA access a subscription service that grants users unlimited access to a vault of games for just five bucks a month how cool with that but you can only play for games right now huh and it's only for xbox one the five bucks didn't seem that bad at first right just label titles include battlefield 4 medan NFL 25 fifa 14 and peggle 2 subscribers of the service will also get to play some unreleased titles such as dragon age inquisition prior to launch will then be able to carry over their progress once they purchase the game now if you're not a console gamer I won't blame you for skipping this part of the video all hail the pc master race but this netflix approach to video games does bring about some considerations for console and PC gamers alike what a monthly subscription service like this being effective way to play games and if so how much should it cost in a war we're gamers have unlimited access to every steam game available how much will one man pay per mon fer absolute gaben gluttony obviously this largely depends on your wallet and how often you game let me know what you guys think about the concept of gaming subscription services and how much you'd be willing to pay for one at the YouTube partner I frequently visit analytic sites like social blade and vid stats X and I always seem to find myself once again looking at that list of top youtubers typically with a great sense of bitterness and loathing PewDiePie talentless prick Smosh shut up jenna Marbles yeah i watch your videos on mute but then i come across the channel called disney collector BR and it blows my mind every time because we'll watch this then sofia the first tea party set from play-doh that's all it is that's the whole channel just about your first person toy porn starring a creepy voice in a bad manicure and it has 1.8 million subscribers and 25 billion video views and this angered me for a long time because i want that i like money lucky for me BuzzFeed posted an article this week discussing the identity and bizarre success of the youtuber which laid to rest some of the questions I've been asking for years like who watches this crap oh yes it seems the majority of channel views comes from toddlers ages two to six most of them using their parents tablets or smartphones to watch princess Sofia pop play-doh out of her but this video of plastic eggs has over 91 million views I've been unboxing the wrong things my entire life experts speculate that the mystifying success of the channel stems from a primal feeling of excitement the toddlers get from watching the videos it's almost as if they're getting high off of the feeling of actually being given these toys and after the video ends then you've got to watch one more and one more and one off it's like toddler crack what's equally fascinating is that the woman in the videos never reveals her face or identity and none of the YouTube networks like full screen or maker have ever been able to contact her making her the biggest unaffiliated anonymous youtuber in the world I mean still not fully understand the phenomenon or how to target five-year-olds without feeling like a pedo but I can at least say that after reading the article I have a newfound respect for this woman and her efforts to help a cookie monster with portion control so from one noble youtuber to another I tip my hat shake your poorly painted hand and say congratulations disney collector whoever you are that's gonna do for now guys be sure to like favorite and subscribe feel free to blow up the comment section down below thank you all for watching and I'll see all next week you do on your knees dirty console peasants bow down before the glorious pc master race who watches this crap
