It calls attention to the fact that Youtube isn&amp;#x27;t just serving me videos neutrally, it knows what is being said in those videos at the exact moment it is said.  It highlights how much Google analyses the content of its videos in a way that more neutral features like automatic transcripts don&amp;#x27;t and in turn how much that can teach Google about me based on the videos I watch.  It isn&amp;#x27;t that I didn&amp;#x27;t know Google had this ability, but foregrounding it underlines Google&amp;#x27;s Big Brother nature in a way that makes me want to use Youtube less and not more.</text></comment>
