So you're going to try to silence, or censor, a company into not choosing a more relevant algorithm? Their original algo changed and it "censored" more relevant content. I had a few videos on youtube giving my own personal experience of 9/11 but they quickly got overshadowed once the algo changed to prefer dramatic conspiracy content over regular content, even if it is more relevant. I don't like being "censored" either and I'd rather youtube change the algo.
If you watch the linked video, it seems the guy found them because youtube's algorithm suggested other conspiracy videos instead of more 9/11 videos like he was watching. Other people probably have more relevant 9/11 videos but they were "censored" because they probably weren't dramatic conspiracy videos as youtube's current algorithm "censors", as some see it, rational and less emotional content over clickbait drama.
It's not censoring, just changing the algorithm according to relevance. You could argue that other people were censored first so that youtube would suggest FE theory videos before their own which may have been more relevant. But it seems youtube's current algo is 'this is a conspiracy video, here's another conspiracy video' instead of 'this is a 9/11 video, here's another 9/11 related video'.
So much for intellectual honesty on this site. New user and I thought this was something praised here. The hypocrisy of upvoting the parent because they're against information propagators being linked to an administration while ignoring the elephant in the room.

I think of it like inventing. It's not completely analogous but do you want to learn to invent something? No, right? Because you think of something to invent first and then get to learning how to create it. I've heard it's easier to get into coding if going this route, otherwise it can seem unmotivating if you're just doing it on your own.
This reminds me of Robert Sapolsky's lectures, brilliant and easy to find on youtube, where he mentions the most optimal or successful form of communication between parties where you may have miscommunication or misunderstanding is generally tit-for-tat with some amount of forgiveness. Seems analogous to various digital communication protocols where you use parity bits and if an error occurs, you say 'ok, that didn't compute well' and just try to initialize again.
I always imagined most things in Ireland and UK in general as being smaller than the US. A quick search and yes, HDs are typically 100,000 sq/ft. Average grocery stores here are 50k and Walmart & Costco around 100k - 150k.
The new Ikea down the road is 344,445 sq ft in floor space over two floors - so about 170k in size - and it has a B&Q next door that's about two-thirds that size, although only one floor. That's within a few miles of the centre of London, there are bigger stores outside of towns and cities across the UK.
Supermarkets here can range up to 100k for the very largest, although they're apparently moving away from absolutely huge stores to stores in the 30k - 50k size. So
