Also, 12k videos is probably around a minute of typical content uploads. Seriously, in 2023, 500 Hours of content was uploaded to YouTube every minute. This is a minuscule study.

They used 96 channels as a sample it seems. So they can show that the new algorithm works. I think this is probably not going as well as they make it seem. Probably you will now face the problem that the word climate change will demonetise your video.
