Today on March, 10th, at around 5:00 pm, I went into my bedroom, for some reason I got close to the only window there is in the room, and that made me remember something.
It was a video I watched a long time ago, more than one year ago probably. In the video, a man, inside his house, is looking outside through his window, and recording two kids that were at the street. As a joke, He yells, "Do you want drugs!?", at the kids. For a moment, the kids stared at the house where the man is, and then, ran away from there. A moment later, one of the kids return to the man's house, with his mom, knocking at the door. Incidentally, the video was from Latino-America and obviously in Spanish.
So funny , I thought, while remembering the video. But Why am I telling you this?
It is because, approximately, two hours after, at 7:00 pm. I started to watch videos on youtube, specifically, I was listening to songs. And, while choosing songs to play, that video i talked about, the one I remembered about two hours ago was recommended to me.
Why? Although the video came to my mind, I didn't search it in youtube to watch it again. I wasn't even watching something related that video, I was listening to songs. I was bewildered and kinda scared. How this coincidence can occur? is youtube algortithm aware of what am I thinking ?
Or could it be that it is something normal that happen when you watch youtube daily? Old videos I already watch appearing every day and then sometimes it is something I was thinking? I usually think of old youtube videos I have watched but it is no that common. And also, videos that I already watch a long time ago rarely appear again in my recommendation section. Or could it be... that I didn't actually remembered the video, and when I saw that video in the recommendation section, that thought of me remembering suddenly materialized in my mind? Like when you are dreaming, and think I had this dream before, but when you wake up, you realize this is the first time you had that dream. Maybe there is something wrong with my mind.
But that's not all. this is not the first time that it happens. Like two months ago. While driving my car, heading to my house. Randomly, a video came to my mind, and I thought about it just for an instant, saying something like one of this guys reminds of an annoying friend I had in high school in my mind. Later in the afternoon such video appeared in my recommendation, again, for not reason, other than apparently thinking about it.
I might be exaggerating, and this is something that happens to everyone, as a result of watching youtube regularly. But man, it unsettles me.
