Informative YouTube channels

  YouTube (YT) can be a double edged sword for our long term well being. One the one hand it contains many informative, useful videos that improve our understanding of the world, on the other hand one could easily be sucked into mindlessly watching useless videos. Understanding how YT works will help us use it better. One thing we have to be wary about is YTs recommender system. This can hook us on and make us crave for more videos . I would recommend extensions like Distraction Free YT to avoid seeing YT recommendations next to current video. Instead of recommendations we can choose based on channels.

Confidence and Accuracy To go bit deeper into when exactly we enjoy music the most, we can look at our brain's confidence & accuracy of the music prediction. At first both the confidence and accuracy are low, but after listening to the tune several times our accuracy increases. At this point we are able to predict with higher accuracy, but the confidence is still low. This is my guess when the enjoyment is highest as we are building confi
