This is what I would choose after trying both

A week has passed since we publish the Nintendo Switch 2 analysis 2. These days I have received many questions as How far does your Nvidia chip gethow are the Mouse mode And my experience with ‘Mario Kart World‘. But if there is one that takes the palm, it is whether it is worth buying a nintendo switch 2 or better something type Steam Deck. The short answer is that there is no correct answer. A ball. Nintendo Switch 2 is being a success. At least, your official sales data And what do you walk exhausted in half the world They show it. The system Do not innovate at all Because even their great contribution, the joy-with that work as a mouse, had already been seen in the Lenovo Legion Go. The key is that Nintendo has focused on offering more than what worked for Switch to sell 152 million consoles -And counting-, and has enhanced it with a better hardware. The assumption. I speak of consoles sold because it is something that will directly imply that there are anyone who wants to launch their games in it. The more switch on the street, the more companies and developers will want to launch their games on it. It’s something we saw with the huge Indies explosion In the first switch and that, on PC, it is another of the great points in favor thanks to the fact that everyone has at least Steam. That said, and to answer the question we ask, I will try to answer someone who only has a console as PlayStation either Xbox… or a laptop so old that the new games come very large. For ordering things, this assumption that is between a Steam Deck or a switch 2 has these characteristics: It has a desktop console. It does not have an original switch. It does not have a PC to play. He wants that desktop and portable hybrid format. Switch 2 versatility is total Buy a Switch 2. I will start with the Nintendo console. My experience these weeks with her is being very positive because it is precisely what I was looking for. It is a more powerful switch and, as a user who came from the Switch 2017the jump on the screen is considerable. But if you arrive from new, and after two weeks with it, these are the points that I highlight the most of the console: Large screen and controls, but size and weight weight. Switch 2 is very portable and ideal to play in public transport or in bed. The hybrid format is very comfortable and is its great advantage: that the dock is included facilitates being playing in laptop and, suddenly, starting to play on TV. The HDR also works very well and expresses extra power to increase the resolution in this mode. Brutal catalog with a multitude of physical titles. We not only have practically the entire switch catalog (with improvements even if they do not have performance patch) in digital format, but also in physical for a better preservation of the video game. In addition, Nintendo games are wonderful and we have insured the ‘Zelda’, ‘Mario’, ‘Metroid’, ‘Donkey Kong’, ‘Kirby’ and what they get out of the hat. Pay for Nintendo switch online It is an annoyance, but we have the classic consoles such as NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Cube or Nintendo 64 to which Nintendo is adding titles. Multiplayer without buying more controls. Thanks to the integrated joy-with, there are certain titles that we can play cooperatively with another player, emulating those sofa afternoons when we were kids. Or something Steam Deck. Here the thing is complicated for a very clear reason: there is too much to choose from. That if Lenovo Legion Go, that if Steam Deck, what if MSI Claw 8 AI+yes Asus Rog Ally… There are many proposals and, although the concept is the same, they offer important differences. For example, the Lenovo machine has separable controls and with a mouse mode and Steam Deck a very video game oriented system. What they compare are the following arguments: They are a PC, with all that this implies at the personalization and amplitude level of catalog, streaming game included. You can natively connect a keyboard and a mouse. This can also be done in some Switch 2 games, but on PC it works on all titles and there are a variety of non -existent strategy games in consoles. Total customization of the visual section to prioritize better graphics or better performance. Free online multiplayer. You don’t have to explain much more. Offers every few weeks in the different stores we have on PC. In the world of consolidated PCs there is much to choose from, depending on your characteristics and tastes They are not perfect. Not much less. I have focused on the positive points and the main reasons that would take me to buy one system or another, but it is impossible not to ignore the controversies and faster points. The battery is not wonderful in either of the two cases and, although it depends a lot on the type of game and what ‘Chupe’ of the SOC, for the most demanding it is not a good idea to get away from the plug. In addition, Switch 2 has physical games, but also digital that occupy a lot and we need microSD Express cards, more expensive than we used so far. Steam Deck and the like are compatible with conventional microSD, but forget about physical games. In a Consolidated PCthe dock or cable for the TV bought separately, but the numerous offers on platforms such as Steam, GOG or free Epic Games games compensate. Both. In the end, I consider that it is a fight that is meaningless because they are two devices that have similarities, but in the end they are two totally different things. One remains a console and the other systems, although they have console format, are … Read more

If you ask the IAS to choose a number between 1 and 50, they usually choose 27. The reason is very human

by

You may want to do the test. Go to Chatgptto Gemini to Claude OA Perplexityand see everyone asking to choose a number between 1 and 50. It is not certain that everyone does it, but there is a high probability that The chosen number is 27. What is happening? Andrej Karpathy asked it months ago, one of the best experts in AI in the world. Actually his initial perception was that “All LLM sound the same“That is, everyone speaks surprisingly and also answers very similarly. Chatbots usually give similar answers in their formulation to our questions if they are factual. That is, if they are based on verifiable facts, such as “what is Rafa Nadal’s age?” The funny thing is that in many cases give the same answer when what we ask is much farther. For example, that they choose a number between 1 and 50. You ask several chatbots, and everyone chooses on 27. What happens here? Karpathy himself I recovered that question A few hours ago with a discovery I had seen In Reddit: Those who had done the test proved that most chatbots answered the same thing: 27. In The answer to his comment in x Many users “Although not all— They showed captures either Shared conversations of different chatbots that had precisely answered with that same number. Coincidence or problem of the IAS? The condemnation of human biases Because? In one of the responses of the chatbots who answered the user, he just asked that to AI. This answered that he had chosen that number because he avoids the ends, because it is beautiful mathematically (the cube of three), and 27 “Give the feeling of being random but human”. And there is one of the keys: the IAS try to answer in a similar way as a human would. An entrepreneur named Chester Zelaya precisely elaborated a theory curious about this phenomenon. For him the models used games theory and try to “win” to guess the number. For this they adopt a binary search strategy that allows building A binary tree. And in the game of guessing that number between 1 and 50, 27 is a starting number that according to him is especially adequate (although not the only one). However, another way of explaining that AI frequently chooses 27. AI models have been trained by humans with human data, and therefore they are full of biases included in these data and used voluntarily or involuntarily by those people. The “7” is an especially frequent number on its own or as a termination, and As explained Another user called Yogi, that human bias is everywhere. “That is why when you ask multiple LLM to choose a” randomly “number, they all respond with confidence 27. Not because it is random, but because it is predictably popular.” Almost 7,000 people chose a number between 1 and 100 in an experiment. And many chose 69, and then 7 and 77. Source: Reddit It is also a very reasonable theory. An experiment carried out years ago on social networks asked people to choose a number between 1 and 100. Of the 6,750 people who responded conclusion was reached that the number that had been chosen most was —Us— on 69. And after him, 7 and 77 were also especially frequent. There are, as always, exceptions to the rule. In my tests I have been able to verify how almost all chatbots chose number 27, but there were one that did not. The same thing happened to many X uuarios, who found that when they asked Grok, the number chosen It was 42. Very appropriate.

Spain has become so expensive that the British are starting to choose another place for their vacations: Morocco

by

When years ago a British family began to plan their summer vacation could doubt with the dates, the accommodation, with which airline flying or what clothes to put in The suitcase; But in many (many) cases what had no discussion was destiny: They were traveling to Spain. Especially to the Mediterranean coast, Balearic Islands or Canary Islands, where they were looking for sun, heat, beach, good landscapes and better food. Now that decision is no longer so clear and increasingly British choose to fly to somewhat more southern latitudes, to North Africa. The reason is simple: the price increase is leading them to change Catalonia and the Balearic Islands for Tunisia or Morocco. Issue of expenses. British tourists like Spain. A lot. And that is easy to check. He arrives with a walk through the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Balearic Islands or the Costa Blanca (to name a few destinations) or take a look at the INE data: in 2024 the flow of tourists from the United Kingdom grew 6.6% until adding 18.4 million travelers, which allowed Spain to close the year with A record of almost 94 million foreign visitors. The influx of tourists is nevertheless the only thing that grows in the sector. They also do the rates. Latest National Price Index It shows that so far this year, hostels, pensions and accommodation services have become sensitive to each other until they are placed almost 7% above a year ago. If we look back the increase is even more pronounced. RTVE Calculate that from the pandemic the hotels have increased more than 50%. Looking north of Africa. With that price increase as a backdrop and despite the considerable pull of Spain in the British market, more and more families in the United Kingdom opt for alternative destinations (and cheaper) in which to spend your vacation. And in that search they end up looking north of Africa, places like Egypt, Tunisia or Morocco. The trend was verified A few days ago The newspaper Daily Mail, although it is not really new. The sector It has been verifying how English tourists are responding to the rise in prices of Spain or Portugal Looking for more southern alternatives, in North Africa. At the end of 2024 Mirror I already reported that there were British families who were changing the Canary Islands to Egypt to enjoy their winter vacations. A percentage: 39%. Beyond the statements of the agencies and tour operators, there are a series of data that help to understand the growing interest arouses North Africa among British travelers. For example, Booking has proven that between January and May searches related to Tunisia on their platform have fired 68% compared to the same months of 2024. In the case of Egypt they have grown 64% and in that of Morocco 39%. And it is not only about plans, desires or forecasts in the medium or long term. The change is already underway. This same summer the tui uk platform has registered 30% more reservations for Egypt that a year ago. In the case of Tunisia, growth also reaches double digit and the company also recognizes a strong demand for Morocco. More interest, more flights. British airlines have quickly captured that interest and have not taken long to act accordingly, reinforcing their connections with the continent. This year it is expected that the United Kingdom airports take off 19,847 flights destined to North Africa, more than double the 8,653 registered operations before the pandemic. The connections with Spain and Portugal will also grow, but to a much lesser extent: just 10 and 9%. In that new context Morocco also plays with an extra advantage: proximity. A British who wants to fly to Alicante must invest about two and a half hours on the flight. If you want to go to Cairo the trip will last much more (almost double), but if you choose to move between London and Marrakech the journey will not reach four hours. Is there so much price difference? Yes. For a British traveling to Tunisia or Morocco translates into more flight hours, but in his favor he has the cost of accommodation. EUROWEEKLY has made calculations and assures That a seven night stay in Agadir, to the south of the country, costs about 889 pounds per person while other similar packages to stay in Mediterranean destinations in Europe, such as Marbella, Santorini or Mykonos, requires Between 1,000 and 2,700 pounds. “There is a trend, especially in the family segment, towards cheaper destinations,” explained In December a Mirror Sebastien Ebel, executive director of Tui Group, after checking how more and more people were choosing to spend their winter vacations in Egypt instead of the Canary Islands. Already by then Easyjet Holidays found an increase in demand in other African destinations, including Morocco. Prices … and something else. That more and more British imagine spending their vacations in Tunisia or Morocco instead of in the Balearic Islands or Canary Islands not only explains by the price difference. In play more factors enter. For example, the ‘democratization’ of the tourism market, with a growing group of travelers who do not give up their country despite having adjusted budgets. “We frequently see new customers with less income, but still want to travel with budgets of 800 pounds. If they do not find it in Spain, they look for alternatives,” Ebel points out. Another key is what tourists are in Tunisia, Morocco or Egyptwarm destinations, with a rich heritage, beaches, landscapes and a hotel sector that has been put the batteries In recent years and offers options that are not far from which British can be found in Spain or Portugal. The new trend also coincides with protestsIn certain points of the country, such as Balearics either Cataloniaof residents tired of the impact of mass tourism.

We thought to choose among more options would make us freer. The “choice paradox” has made us more unhappy

by

White or blue shirt, coffee or tea, peach jam or raspberry, car or public transport, meat or fish, cinema or afternoon on a terrace, wine or beer, potato tortilla with or without onion. A study He estimated that we take Between 10,000 and 40,000 decisions a daybut our brain prefers not to make it too complicated. The paradox of the choice is its personal revenge that makes, The more options You have to choose, less satisfactory is the choice. When choosing becomes a problem Currently making decisions has become a Unexpected stress source and discontent. The funny thing is that this phenomenon is produced by having Too many options available to choose. The choice paradox explains why, despite having more alternatives than ever, those decisions are less satisfactory for those who perform them and experience greater anxiety after deciding. This phenomenon, studied and popularized By psychologist Barry Schwartz, he reveals that the abundance of options can be a psychological trap. As he says, “instead of becoming happier, an abundance of options tends to block, frustrate and cause the persistent feeling that it could have chosen better.” This paradox affects all aspects, both in personal life with everyday purchases, and Important decisions in the professional or work environment. A study Of the psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper showed that consumers were less likely to buy when they had to choose between 24 jam flavors than when they only had 6 flavors. Alternative overload not only complicates the decision, it also reduces satisfaction with the chosen. A study jointly carried out between different US researchers revealed that, although the variety in the election tends to be considered as a positive option, the excess options actually has negative connotations Emotional since it takes the brain to two states. The first state is a Excessive comparison effort of elements that generates a greater mental burden at the time of making the decision, and then moving to a state of anxiety and dissatisfaction at the doubt of whether the most accurate decision has been made. Something that people of success like Jeff Bezos They have had to learn To make your decisions. Maximizers and satisfiers: two styles of deciding A Psychological study Posted in American Psychological Association revealed that people They face decision making with two differentiated styles: maximizers and satisfiers. Maximizers always seek the best possible option, exhaustively comparing all alternatives before deciding. This group tends to experience more dissatisfaction, doubts and repentance, since “the process of looking for the perfect option can be endless and exhausting.” They are easy prey for analysis by analysis: Have so many options to choose from that they are unable to opt for one. On the other hand, the satisfiers are made up of an option that, although not fit in all requirements, meets certain criteria of sufficiency No need to analyze all possibilities. It is simply an option good enough As if to be the right, regardless of whether it is the “perfect.” The Research in this regard They have shown that satisfiers are usually happier and less anxious after making a decision, since they do not become obsessed with what they could have chosen and focus on enjoying their choice, while maximizing “tend to experience less satisfaction and more regret,” the authors of those investigations point out. Strategies to choose better The directors of large corporations, whose decisions depends on the future of thousands of employees and the money of their investors, must take into account this paradox when making their decisions. To avoid falling into the choice paradox trap, there are some strategies recommended by psychology experts. One of the most effective is to limit the number of options to considerfocusing only on those that really meet our personal needs or values. For example, it is one of the reasons that led Mark Zuckerberg to reduce the choice of your costumeslimited to a gray shirt and blue roofs. As Barry Schwartz points out, “by reducing options and focusing on what really matters, we can make more satisfactory decisions and live with less anxiety. “ Another useful strategy is to accept that it is not always possible to find the perfect option and that, in many cases, “good enough” is more than enough. Adopt a satisfactory mentality allows you to take most agile decisions and enjoy more about the result. This strategy is especially relevant in the business world, since dedicating too much time to make a decision It can lead to stop the company’s progress and let the competition take advantage. He world of technology And video games are full of examples of such decisions in which the decision has been made to launch a product that is already good enough, even if it is not perfect.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have shared the same key to be successful: choose what to focus on

by

Bill Gates’ father brought together several people, among whom He was Warren Buffett, and asked what it was, in a word, The secret of his success. Both Microsoft’s founding millionaire and his good friend Buffett responded exactly the same: focus “You must focus. Eliminate distractions. Commit with only one thing and become excellent in it. “These are some of the advice that insistently repeat many productivity experts, such as the author of ‘Atomic habits‘, James Clear. This idea sounds logical. However, the big question for those who read those advice is How to know what to focus your energies. Experience before choosing How to know what to dedicate your attention and energy if you don’t know what really interests you? That is one of the questions you must answer before asking yourself What to focus on. Before deciding on what to concentrate your energy, it is necessary to try different paths. As Clear tells In your personal experienceDuring his first year as an entrepreneur he made many mistakes: “I launched my first product without having an idea who would sell it (big surprise, nobody bought it).” Therefore, your recommendation is Do not get obsessed with a single idea will work. It is necessary to try between four and five different alternatives for a while and, if it does not convince you, go to the next. This approach to “try things until something is easy” is essential because, regardless of the objective, it must adapt to your nature and skills. If you are looking to be more productive, experience with several Organization techniques. However good they are and no matter how much they work To people in your environment, you may not adapt to your way of working, To your biorhythms or your way of processing the information. Simply stop committing you to work with you and try Another different technique. The same happens if your goal is to start exercising, prove different sports. Maybe the Running Don’t be yours And it seems bored, and what you really enjoy is yoga or paddle. As the author of the Best seller on productivitythe important thing is not to obtain that a single option must work at all costs. Leaving behind what does not fit with you will allow you to discover what best suits your personality and lifestyle. Choose and Persevear: Invisible work Once you have experienced enough to discover what fits you and what is not, it is time to decide What are you going to focus on. As Clear explains, there comes a time in the process in which you don’t need more information, you just need to make a decision. This is one of the most difficult moments, because it implies putting aside the constant search and commit yourself to a single option. It’s time to focus. From here, perseverance becomes fundamental. Real progress It is not usually visible at the beginning. For example, you must be aware that, if you start going to the gym, you will have to do thousands of repetitions before noticing physical changes. If you want to be a great chef, you will first have to cook many mediocre (or bad) dishes. As Ira Glass pointed outfounder of the podcast This American Life“Your taste is good enough to notice that what you do disappoints you.” That is, only through repetition and constant learning the basis of success for a project, regardless of its nature, begin to lay. It doesn’t matter if it’s about Study oppositionsimprove your productivity, read more either Acquire new habits healthy The practice and art of simplifying Excellence is achieved with constant practice. After going through the phases of experimentation and hard work, the time comes when you can start simplifying. James Clear summarize it like this: “Only after completing the repetitions you will understand which parts of the task are fundamental for success.” It is then, when You have created a solid systemWhen you can Cut processesbetter choose your tools and eliminate what does not provide value. Getting something simple is, paradoxically, the most difficult. As wrote Blaise Pascal: “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” True mastery consists in knowing exactly What is essential and what is accessorysomething that is only achieved after a lot of practice and learning. Each person has their own rhythm, but the path to simplicity and approach inevitably happens through experience and perseverance. In Xataka | Lack of motivation is a problem for productivity.

The real challenge will be to choose a career with a future job when they approve it

by

Next June 3 gives the exit gun in several autonomous communities to the University Access Test (PAU). Beyond testing the acquired knowledge, the test is a decisive step in the orientation and five -year professional view of the young people who present them today. Its result will mark the decision of university careers those who can access. On the other hand, 75% of companies ensure Not find qualified personnel For vacancies due to lack of specialized training, which denotes a mismatch between preferences in university studies that are taken and real needs of companies. For this reason, taking into account the labor insertion of each career can be very useful to say for a specialty with labor guarantees. More and more university students, but less specialists. According to data from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of 2024, 341,831 students enrolled in the access test, of which 95.8% was presented and approved 90.2% of those who completed the test. In contrast, the report Labor market in Spain 2024prepared by Infojobs and ESADE, points out that only 31% of the candidates who responded to a job offer on that platform had a university degree, while only 11% of the published offers demanded that training. On the other hand, 27% of job seekers had a specialization of professional training, and 22% of vacancies required that degree. These data show the mismatch between training of employment plaintiffs and what companies are really looking for, especially in relation to university training. Studies with greater job insertion. According to the study The employability of young people in Spain 2024 Prepared by the CYD Foundation on the work outputs of the different university careers, engineering (electrical, industrial electronics, software development, telecommunications, etc.) are the ones that offer better working conditions to their graduates in terms of Stability in contractssalaries and affiliation rates. It is closely followed by those careers related to the health and care sphere, mainly driven by a high demand generated by the aging of the population. The First data of 2025 facilitated by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities point to an analysis along the same lines, placing the different engineering such as the branch with greater stability and insertion rates, followed by health sciences. What companies demand. On the other side of the labor market is the demand of companies, which is aligned with the data that reflects the careers with better labor insertion. The aforementioned report Labor market in Spain 2024 It reflects that many of the offers published in 2024 in Infojobs responded to an engineering profile, with very little competition for each of the offers and with good remuneration in counterpart. In this sense, the Emerging jobs and sectors report 2024 It puts special emphasis on the demand for professionals related to the implementation and development of AI, such as data engineering and Machine Learning, whose demand has grown by 625% since 2019, or artificial intelligence engineering that grows at the rate of 83% per year, with a very low candidate competition for each job offer. On the other hand, the report prepared by Infojobs and ESADE, highlights that in 2024 97,500 vacancies related to health care and care on that platform were counted. Of them 98% and 97% corresponded to vacancies requested nurses and physiotherapists respectively. Both with university studies. The red lanterns. The races related to the branch of arts and humanities have been marking years A downward trend in terms of labor insertion. On average, only 63.5% of the graduates in these branches find a job four years after finishing their training. Only 34.2% do so during the following year to finish them. This data contrasts with the 77.8% computer science that finds a job the first year. In Xataka | Construction and hospitality do not hire the same pace as before.

It is a Chinese video game where you choose your own “digital husband”

by

If the same videos appear in Booktok With the same recommendations over and over again and you are running out of patience waiting for the launch date of Sarah J. Maas’s new book, the answer is not between the pages, if not on your mobile screen: the Otome video game ”Love and Deepspace‘He wants to be your next “novel.” Do not be scared, if you are new and you need a break of the special editions and the colored songs, you have to know that this term of games, The Otomedefine the contents that are aimed at a mostly female audience. His games are very popular in particular among the Asian audience; Not in vain the etymology of the word leads us to Japan. In them, according to the decisions you make, and after living various adventures, you develop a love relationship with one of the characters. The catalog within this genre is very extensive and has gained traction in recent times. But the truth is that ‘Love and Deepspace.’created in 2024 by the Chinese developer Infold Gamesmove masses globally. In his first weeks he exceeded the 15 million downloadshe got 55 million dollars in benefits in a month and after his first year of life he reached the whopping number of 50 million players worldwide. The formula of the success of ‘Love and Deepspace’ The numbers are overwhelming, and therefore it is worth stopping to look for the keys to their success. There are several factors that have contributed to the fame of ‘Love and Deepspace’. First, its story is not based on a single character, but has several temporal lines and a puzzle structure that the player will have to complete during his game time. Although we will not have to read descriptions of objects such as ‘Elden Ring’, we are facing a FROMSOFTWARE STYLE Frame narrative. The protagonist is you, a Novata hunter whose task will consist of exploring and protecting the population that inhabits Lincoln City from the “wandering” ‘Last of us‘). Your main ability is to amplify the power of other characters during the battles, hence the relevance of meeting Xavier, Zayne, Sylus, Rafayel or Caleb (your different love interests in the game) to develop different stories and increase the affinity with each of them. First of all, Infold’s game is a romance story with the perfect dose of fantasy and science fiction. And how do you know that your target audience comes For the narrativeone of the reasons that help the title to obtain users is its mechanical accessibility. The battles acquire a secondary character and you can, without problem, focus your departure at the points you prefer. Although it is a fighting focused on very colorful special skills, it is witnessing the relative importance of “playing well” that there is a function for fights to be played alone, automatic mode through. As a good game as a service, the additional chapters that the creators provide to continue the story are not lacking. And all this with a lot of events designed to have fun in various ways, because the possibilities offered by the game are quite wide: sections dedicated to winning rewards in different types of battles, miniguegos that change every season and that can get closer to Chinese culture, a menu dedicated to taking out solo or couple photos with an endless personalization, quotes with the character of our choice … that always play before sleeping. Your destiny is to connect with them The design of the male characters is, at least, exhaustive. While they fall into a superficiality and galloping regulations in terms of physical design, we have to say that each one has a personality full of nuances with a very worked history. It is impossible not to differentiate Caleb, Rafayel, Zayne, Xavier or Sylus. The female audience is totally delivered to these “Husbondes” (digital husbands), especially in China, where shopping centers are wallowed with the faces of each and fans sides are formed as that of that team Edward vs Team Jacob of the millennial generation. Shopping Center in Hefei (China) They defend their romantic interest unreserved, sometimes creating connections with the game quite extreme: “I can show myself as I am and he will show me his love without reservations” or “everyone has their secrets, some you cannot tell others, but when you open the game, you can talk to it” are some of the statements of Chinese players of ‘Love and Deepspace’. The mechanics and progression of the game is simple, you must get certain letters (called “memories”) that They will unlock additional content To interact and allow you to have quotes with your favorite characters. Here an extra game tactics are added Free to play With micropagos, since the factor Fomo It is that some memories will only be temporarily available during an event. Thanks to unlocking this content you can learn more about that romantic link and weave the network of different temporal lines. Here also influences each user’s way of playing, since although you can focus only on a “boyfriend”, some people choose to cover something else. If you can’t choose between Zayne’s sweet character, and Sylus, the bad of the movie, you will have to handle your resources well and think well who you want to unlock more content. In that unusual, but effective, amalgam of magic, appointments, temporary lines and combat also includes the least positive aspect of this style of games, Phacha microtransactions. We are talking about an evolution of the mechanics of loot boxes that have been reviewing so long European regulatory bodies and that force you to go through a random catwalk to unlock content. You may want an appointment with a character, but for this you better save enough amount of currencybecause you will not be able to buy it directly; What you can acquire are thrown to a lottery where your favorite item has a small probability of appearing.

Modern algorithms decide for us to see. YouTube is the last redoubt where the algorithm does not choose for you

by

The 2025 Internet is dominated by algorithms that seem to know each other better than ourselves. They were only missing Chatbots with memory than adding to your ability to read between the lines. In this scenario, YouTube is increasingly a beautiful anomaly. While Tiktok, Instagram or X drag us from one subject to another according to the whims of a system that optimizes engagement Pure, Google’s video platform maintains almost anachronistic respect for our choices. It is the last redoubt where what we are looking for still matters more than what makes us react. The difference is in Its algorithmic architecture. YouTube recommends mainly within the thematic ecosystems that we have already chosen. Tiktok, on the other hand, can launch us from vegan recipes to conspiracy theories at a time if that keeps our thumbs sliding. This thematic verticality It is not altruism, it is part of its business model: You need to maintain long sessions within specific issues, where segmented ads have greater value. Only its consequence is positive for the user. Or at least more positive than the rest. The best way to understand what makes YouTube different is to live it as a user. When I am looking for videos of Valencia, the algorithm keeps me in that world: post-part interviews, gatherings, montages of the best goals of the season and usually memories of a better past. It does not suddenly jump to polarizing politics or drag me to incendiary content it happens to provoke my outrage. YouTube respects the thematic ecosystem that I choose. Amplify our searches, do not try to manipulate us better. The user experience reinforces this sense of control: A prominent search bar. Channels to subscribe. Lists we actively build. A history that we can manage. They are vestiges of an internet where we sailed with purpose, not where we were navigated. It is also fair to indicate that YouTube belongs to Google, one of the great architects of the current algorithmic Internet. It is not immune to problems – the clickbait it blooms and its own attempts with YouTube Shorts They show that it is not above the market. However, it maintains a different balance. And the question is obvious: if this more balanced model works for the world’s largest video platform, why do the rest of the industry opt for systems that virtually annul our agency? YouTube also has serious problems. Their Rabbit Holes (Something like ‘Backgroundless wells’) They can take us on paths cobbled by radicalization. Its monetization system favors the extension and recurrence of quality. We are not facing a hero, but before a survivor who has found a niche where he prosper without completely eliminating our autonomy. In the end this this chronology of the evolution of the Internet. The web (yesterday Gloria, today survival) was originally a space where we chose our destinations. Today algorithms decide for us. YouTube retains vestiges of the previous model while adapting to the new one, becoming a kind of “Internet inside the Internet.” This “limited algorithmic autonomy” allows something not only good, but almost sacred: predictability. We can anticipate what we will find, creating a more satisfactory experience. It also allows the fragmentation of communities focused on specific interests, without forcing that everything competes in a single Feed homogenized, which is The great evil of the current X and the perennial identity of Tiktok. YouTube is not perfect – no one is – but it makes us question if we can design platforms that serve users who want to enjoy healthy, without being hooked or dragged where they do not want, and not just advertisers. YouTube, with all its contradictions, is a sign that an intermediate path is possible. Where there is some algorithmic manipulation (it is the market, friend), but that coexist with the total user agency.
