Do words not matter anymore when it comes to 'journalism?'
They didn't secretly do anything. This was publicly.
If it wasn't, we wouldn't fucking know would we?
"Secretly tested" meaning they didn't inform users when they started doing it. Y'know, like any experimental feature is called out and explained? I hope you're just having a bad day because this is some pretty rough reading comprehension
Both, bad day, but I stand by it. It's not a secret if what you're doing is immediately in public view.
Doesn't fit the bill whatsoever:
secret /sē′krĭt/
adjective Kept hidden from knowledge or view; concealed. "a secret identity; a secret passageway." Not expressed; inward. "secret desires."
"YouTube brazenly....." Would have been a way more appropriate tagline
