I don’t think quantitative methods are always a victory for people. They are certainly a victory for the entity using them, helping it achieve its goals, but not they are no necessarily good for humanity as a whole. My goals don’t align with Google’s, so every bit of increase in youtube’s ability to recommend me videos that successfully waste my time is a negative for me.
