I checked both YouTube's "Trending" and my Lemmy feed today and I love how one is the perfect opposite of the other.

On one side, an algorithm wants me to ~~be amazed~~ watch ads looking at AMAZING videos talking about those wolves while on the other side a human enlights me with a good article that tempers the hype.

Thank you btw human

For what it's worth, I saw plenty of Dire Wolf hype articles on Lemmy yesterday, but nothing about it one way or the other on my YT yesterday, so maybe not a great comparison.
