Liam learns about the complicated nature of 'alogrithms', which dictate the popularity of vlogs, and the people employed to control them: 'algorithm whisperers'.\n\nMeanwhile, the controversy surrounding the awards continues to swell, with hapless vlogging agent James Wirm struggling to control his controversial (and apparently very bigoted) new client DumpGhost.
