Seems like an interesting spin on what is basically ’random’. Probably a decent way to get content in front of users that might be outside their normal recommendations.

Is it some essential new feature, no, it’s just a bit of fun to find some new content.

Mate, just make sure you're not getting into trouble with all that positive thinking, ok? Take care.

It seems like a feature that should be implemented April 1,and April 1 alone, and is tone-deaf to the actual problems on the platform.

That was my first thought when I saw this "feature" show up the other day. It actually made me laugh.

I was feeling optimistic about it because I'm always wanting some way to get more diversity into my recommendations. I was disappointed when it mostly presented the same videos I'd been seeing in my recommendations anyway, just only those with a particular color in the thumbnail.
