I like the way you phrased your conclusion. "This statistic reveals something about the group of people who watch your video". Thats true. Nothing more, nothing less.
That's Tom Scott for you. He makes every attempt to be aggressively accurate. Makes every attempt to tell his audience exactly what the data says, not just what would be easy or convenient to pretend it says.
tw// mildly suggestive topics Friendly reminder, if it is at all possible in your current living space or when you have the time, energy, power, and other means to change it around so this is doable, that not having any computers/electronics in your bedroom, period, apparently helps a lot with making it a "sleep/love/masturbating" exclusive area, with nothing else to interrupt or disturb its explicit intended use. I also suppose you can try using computers/electronics for sexual matters in...another room just for...that activity, if you even have such a fancy and specific room, I sure don't, or use other places in the house when no one's around or others are asleep/out of sight enough, private places if possible to have/find them, even, and discreetly finish in and on your clothes, which can hopefully be washed later. Speaking from personal experience, the "no electronics in the bedroom" rule hasn't helped a whole lot, yet, as my sleep schedule is chaotic, nocturnal, and frustratingly difficult to control/direct, plus finding non-digital alarm clocks might be a hassle, I imagine, or may make you seem/look old/outdated, but I'm glad to at least be building one new positive habit recently that can serve me well, especially in the future if and when my sleep gets back to a healthy state. Even now, it's nice to have no, like, phone calls, conversations, virtual appointments...anything in there, though the last one may especially be hard for me someday soon to find a quiet, private room in the house for that. partial tl:dr It gives the bedroom a more "sacred space" vibe, if you can believe that, to leave electronics and computers out, if and when possible. That was a really long paragraph, huh? 😒
"THIS IS A METAPHOR" and "I closed the poll before anyone wrote code to try and break it" really tell you all you need to know about how many times Tom has been around the block.
I'd love for Tom to periodically re-run this quiz for 5 hours at a time with the same data, perhaps annually. Eventually he could take the top 10 results from every session, pit those against each other to find his audiences ultimate best thing.
The biggest problem with something like that is when you start predictably repeating something like this, eventually someone will be ready with a bot to automate and control the results.
@@hamsterfromabove8905 that is a fair point. I just didn't have it in me to think about someone actively ruining some perfectly good data collection. 😒
You should repeat this every 5 years and note any trends and changes over time. It'd be really cool to see what changes and what stays the same over time
I like to imagine there was one guy who got the options "Space" vs "Time" and could have decided it once and for all, but elected to just immediately turn off his phone instead. Maybe Stephen Hawking?

I have restrictions set on my TH-cam so I can try to fall asleep at a decent hour and well watching this. You reveal the number one item on the list and the reminder to go to sleep pops up on the screen and pause it.
It would be fascinating to see a bunch of creators from all different communities run the same poll to see how different sections of the internet compared to one another. Both the differences and similarities would be fun to speculate about.
What would be more fascinating would be for Tom to have created two separate independent rankings - A and B. When a new user shows up on the website, randomly allocate them to either A or B. Then, at the end of the voting period, compare Poll A and Poll B's top 10 - that'd tell us if all of these were random, or of there's some trend to it.
I wanted to show this to mom when I got home from work. But while waiting to show it to her I took a nap and was out half the night. I finally woke up at like 8, ate dinner and finally got around to showing it to her and….the answer was right in front of me the entire time. The very thing I was doing.
“the bottom of the list is a bunch of nasty diseases and unpleasant concepts. and one of the twilight movies” as someone who likes twilight, fair enough
I hate-watched the twilight movies in the middle of the night (I quite liked the books at the time but had very low expectations for the movies) so I remember none of it - which one would that be do you think?
As someone who took part in this, I feel there was a flaw in the process. When I answered each question, there was a response. Green if you voted with the majority, red if your vote went against the majority. I personally felt the colours had an influence on my vote, making me consider what others thought, and potentially impacting the way I voted. Obviously this is minor, but it's definitely not perfect in my view.
Could this be a yearly poll where we find what the "world" is into at that moment and maybe see if the polling size could increase. amazing video. lovely concept.
I bet the audience would gladly take part in it monthly for a year, but yearly might not work out. Then again, it'd get hacked easily. And with a lot of work involved in user tracking, would require 3 tries or a botnet.
Once a year I think would be the best frequency. Biggest problem I could see is one that Tom mentioned in the video; it would give those interested a _lot_ of time to work out how to game/hack the poll.
I wager sleep will go undefeated until we discover a way to eliminate sleep but still get rest, then that will be undefeated. I wonder where coffee/caffeine were on the list
There is a simple fix against ppl trying to hack it: give each human an id, preferably of the physical kind like the signing devices banks use. Or, yknow, you could go cheaper and have either a banner telling bots to go away, or a checkbox humans can check to verify that they are humans.
Cat People: Dogs are lovely too, but I prefer cats. Dog People: CATS ARE DISGUSTING THEY KILLED MY MOM THEY KILLED MY FAMILY AND A CAT STOLE MY GIRLFRIEND AND THEN KILLED HER I'm on neither side. I like snakes.
to be fair, not everyone likes or gets sex. i don't ever wanna have it, im a very sex-repulsed ace. and there's probably a significant enough overlap between tom scott's viewership and the sort of extremely online nerd who just doesn't care about sex (for whatever reason) for it to have an effect.
@@samveddeolekar1571 Let me introduce you to the enteric nervous system (ENS). It is not the slave of the brain. More like a collaborator. Though it kind of fails at being an organ part.

Apparently none of these people have eaten a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos while getting some neck.
What would be more fascinating would be for Tom to have created two separate independent rankings - A and B. When a new user shows up on the website, randomly allocate them to either A or B. Then, at the end of the voting period, compare Poll A and Poll B's top 10 - that'd tell us if all of these were random, or of there's some trend to it.

I wanted to show this to mom when I got home from work. But while waiting to show it to her I took a nap and was out half the night.

I hate-watched the twilight movies in the middle of the night (I quite liked the books at the time but had very low expectations for the movies) so I remember none of it - which one would that be do you think?
You can enjoy terrible things. I enjoy Jesus Christ : Vampire Hunter, so I can't judge anyone for movie tastes.

@@vxicepickxv Hahah, you must be kidding, aren't you?
I’m going out on a wing and saying it’s New Moon. While the other movies were honestly kind of terrible, New Moon is straight up boring
As someone who took part in this, I feel there was a flaw in the process. When I answered each question, there was a response. Green if you voted with the majority, red if your vote went against the majority. I personally felt the colours had an influence on my vote, making me consider what others thought, and potentially impacting the way I voted. Obviously this is minor, but it's definitely not perfect in my view.

Could this be a yearly poll where we find what the "world" is into at that moment and maybe see if the polling size could increase. amazing video. lovely concept.
I bet the audience would gladly take part in it monthly for a year, but yearly might not work out.
Then again, it'd get hacked easily. And with a lot of work involved in user tracking, would require 3 tries or a botnet.
@@zbzbzbzbzb3288 Monthly every year might work out just by keeping people aware
Once a year I think would be the best frequency.
Biggest problem I could see is one that Tom mentioned in the video; it would give those interested a _lot_ of time to work out how to game/hack the poll.
I wager sleep will go undefeated until we discover a way to eliminate sleep but still get rest, then that will be undefeated. I wonder where coffee/caffeine were on the list
There is a simple fix against ppl trying to hack it: give each human an id, preferably of the physical kind like the signing devices banks use.
Or, yknow, you could go cheaper and have either a banner telling bots to go away, or a checkbox humans can check to verify that they are humans.

to be fair, not everyone likes or gets sex. i don't ever wanna have it, im a very sex-repulsed ace. and there's probably a significant enough overlap between tom scott's viewership and the sort of extremely online nerd who just doesn't care about sex (for whatever reason) for it to have an effect.
