WEEK 3

The research questions is how much the inputs affect the outputs on YouTube and how long it takes to change one's algorithmic interactions significantly according to different inputs. The reason why I want to to this research again based on the results of what I found from the previous research is that previous experiment was not consistent. The additional step was added during the project. Also, the inputs which were cooking, flying, reading, and sleeping might have been too broad in their meanings, which may bring too wide of outputs. The inputs for this research are chosen in a more specific way in regards to the previous inputs. The inputs are as followed: how to make a pizza, how a hummingbird flies, how to read news articles, and how to sleep through the night. The research will be conducted in almost the same way with some changes like using a personal laptop, using a personal account, and enabling cookies.
