Extracted text: Part of me was pretty proud that, well, I worked on these algorithms, so I helped him watch so much content. I was kind of curious which recommendations were so good that he was so captivated by YouTube? And then I saw that he was watching conspiracy theories about a secret plan to kill two billion people. So naturally I tried to make a joke with him. “Oh, who wants to kill us," to try to initiate conversation. He told me, “Oh, there is this secret plan. Look at it, because medias are not going to tell you about it. But if you look on YouTube, you'll find all the truth." Then we talked about the videos on – I could debunk videos one by one. But I couldn't debunk the plot because he told me, like, "There are so many videos like that. It has to be true." So it was pretty intense, because I knew the numbers. So I knew that this was not just one person. This – it was millions of people who were in these situations.
