For example we can have a folk rock cluster, or a science podcasts cluster or a travel vlogs cluster. - Small clusters are a part of larger clusters. For example folk rock and boomer rock are inside of rock cluster, and rock is inside music . - This forms a tree, with big branches (like music ), splitting into smaller and smaller branches and twigs. - Now, to choose what to watch you can start at the trunk, and \"climb\" this tree, by choosing which branch to go into. - Note, that some clusters are too big to be clearly labeled, but by looking at the videos in them, you can usually get a general idea about this cluster's theme. How are the clusters found? - When a group of videos is densely connected, it's assumed do be a cluster. When two clusters are well connected, they are joined into a bigger cluster. The exact method we use is here.
