The YouTubes' Creepy Relevance Algorithm

How does The YouTubes make the connection between my video of Ozan conducting a baking-soda rocket experiment seen here:



and the "Related Videos" that it suggests?

Since there are no tags or keywords in the description of the rocket science video, it is rather amazing that they assumed I am a Funny Dancing Turkish Man, surrounded by crazy people from the Indian subcontinent as a result of a wedding.

Fierce and Yellow

Although still quite fierce, since this book was published in 1922, we got nice bronze tans on the beach after our Mediterranean conquests.

The Swiss Family Subaykan?

Using the power of the Googles, I found these two guys who share my last name - which is very rare name so I wonder if there is some kind of relation. They are listed as employees of an electric power company in Switzerland (Elektro Beutler AG - Die Firma die für Power sorgt). Apparently it is a rare name in Switzerland as well.
