There's a good People Make Games video about this from a few days ago

https://youtu.be/Is8N7B9b0GQ

It's funny that I watched this less than an hour ago, and I click on hackernews and bam it's #1 on the front page.

Probably someone else must've also watched this in the past few hours or days.

The world is increeeeeeedibly small with likeminded people (sometimes at least, which is most of the times).

More likely, you could track people who visit the same websites across different apps and websites and feed them similar content on other platforms.

You're talking about 2 phenomenons that I love - the tendency to spot related things in noise due to bias, and hackernews community

I remember seeing a video on Jerry’s Map from nearly 20 years ago.

This one of my most favourite youtube documentaries i've seen in a while

You know, it'd have been amazing if TFA has not opened with that video. So instead of clicking the link to view TFA, you went off and dug up the exact same link in TFA???

Oh, I see that there's two TFAs. The one in the description has the video, but this main one doesn't - http://www.jerrysmap.com/the-map

The main linked article actually does not have that video; the article linked from in the description does have it. Not surprising that someone missed it.

For me it doesn't. Perhaps it's a cookie setting? Anyway, lovely video.
