I believe this is a continuation of her video on the same topic. ▶ this video . It's been on my to-watch list for a while. I guess it's time to check it out.
Maybe you can take inspiration from this ▶ this video It's not an explanation, but show a possible way to cluster (thus classify) websites based on the how they appear, if you want your classification based on content... Maybe you need something different
Just found [1] this in "newest" ▶ this video "Why Japan’s Internet is weirdly designed [video]" [1] I made a comment before regarding how HN works, and usually when one certain issue piques interest there's an influx of related posts.
