I am not eligible to vote. Honestly a linear regression could predict that given the YouTube metrics on me. Why do they still show me political ads? It's like they are inviting foreign interference. #google #youtube

    How would a linear regression be able to figure that out?

      OP
      The statement is rhetorical. Implying a simple heuristic could identify I am not target audience. I am tech engineer, watching tech stuff, simply based on the IP location where I watched videos most of my life, they should reasonably discriminate whether I am target audience to these political ads.

    • Eligibility to vote is binary, not continuous.

      Think the question is why a linear regression and not a logistic one.

    They don't care if you can vote, total propaganda is the only propaganda
