  No, clicking videos like this fed to you by the algorithm is what rewards risky prank content. The algorithm has no idea what its feeding you because it just feeds you popular content similar to what you’re already watching.

    I think platform holders have a responsibility here to intentionally augment the algorithm.

    YouTube already does it with other content. Look into what they did years ago about videos that children upload of themselves.
