Disturbing

Yep... I figured I would be on the list... but I don't care about mapping with a drone.

I have been watching all sorts of things on You Tube the past few years. I don't have cable TV, so I just watch stuff on the computer.

It is crazy what comes on YouTube, especially if you fall asleep, and wake up to it still playing... who knows which video will be showing next.
 
I watch a lot YouTube as well but shy away from the controversial or risque videos, but the YouTube algorithms determine what comes up on the suggested play lists, including anything that is going viral. Recently I have watched a lot of John Pinette and Henry Cho,,, so I get a lot of them in the playlist. Then I watch a lot of heavy equipment repair and home improvement /repair videos to keep up on the latest techniques.
I did see a farming video last night that was demonstrating the use of drones to apply insecticides and fungicides on farm crops, which use known maps of your farm field, and they now have one man drones that will fly you out over your fields for a better look.
I wonder if I will get a phone call, and if I do... what would Henry Cho say???

“It may have been in my YouTube history but I never selected it to play or watched it. I was at the lake looking for my pew pew that fell out of the boat.”

They need to investigate Google / YouTube for allowing it to be played or viewed in their platform.
