How one can prove a choice? Once you acted on this or that you simply cannot go back in time and choose something else.

If you cannot change what you choose, there was never a choice. There was only one path (previously defined OR randomly defined), the one that you “chose”.

“I’ve could chose different” is only fiction at this point.

Choice would be so hard to describe. All animals have can choose? (what brain function makes choice available for a being?) Are we “special” animals? (even worse)

Free will is an ilusion and I think believing otherwise is like believing in god. An attempt to justify our lives.

But yes, the experiment in question seems totally flawed.

It's increasingly difficult to have "business" with the big tech. I lived many years anxious with my Google AdSense account. Recently it a was a Facebook Ads account banned without any clear reason, and a 5yr old Pinterest account too. When the algorithm decides, you are terminated. It just don't matter if you follow all the "TOS" rules.

I think either we do not have free will or we have some special brain that shapes probabilities that literally make the reality as we see.

And I always prefer to believe we are not special animals.

Still, as opposite as deterministic universe, we may do not have free will but the future is not determined. The future may be random at some scale, with most obvious sequence of events happening and yet not prohibiting different events to happen.

Just loved the editions on items. :) Didn't like only FB login. Good UI and UX. And liked the ideia of pre-packed collections, will users be able to create their own collections like "movies with best car chasings"?

Good Luck with your mypileof, dougcorrea!
