Liam explores the 'Most Views' category of The Likeys, a new awards intended to celebrate positivity in the vlogging world. He considers whether the commercially-driven, algorithm led nature of clickbait culture might actually be in some way bad for us as he considers the new extremes vloggers will go to get attention, including cutting their tongues off and attacking dogs with flamethrowers. Liam learns about the complicated nature of 'algorithms', which dictate the popularity of vlogs, and the people employed to control them, 'algorithm whisperers'.
