>>13820864> why does the period circumvent the filtering?In almost all fulltext searches, an entire trillion dollar industry Google pioneered, a period is used as a wildcard to mean any single character. Having only wildcards in your search results means the algorithm is going to return the most accurate videos to match a search of [ALL THINGS POSSIBLE]. The result of that search is an exact average of what the AI has determined to be the most engaging content for the lowest common denominator of humanity.
> wouldn't they have simply just added in a rule to stop it from displaying the raw results?The period exists intentionally. It's a cute little demo they can use to show exactly why Youtube doesn't look like eFukt, and exactly why building a filter to keep it from becoming such a shitpile is worth trillions of dollars. Without Google's valuable search filtering, the listings would be endless troves of actual pornography, just meaningless gore and sex with no inherent value.
