Current Events > YT algorithms are so awful

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's annoying how often they'll give me recommendations from ONE vid that I watched and similar content floods the page

I know it's been bad for awhile but god damn this is annoying

I've had worse experiences with Spotify's discover weekly algorithm. I like one death metal song for its instrumentals and now it thinks I only want that each week.

I miss the time when you'd watch a video/listen to a song on YT and there would be recommendations related to whatever you're watching. Now the recommendations are the exact same shit I get on my feed. Made going down a YT rabbit hole an experience and you'd find interesting, crazy, informative,... vids all the time. Now you're lucky to find a new channel to like.

Ive been turned on to some good bands thanks to it.

I keep getting recommended red pill/sigma male bs despite asking for it not to be recommended.

When you start scrolling through the suggested, a banner will appear that will let you select what you want to see, just select related.

Holy shit, I've never even noticed there are categories you can select there. Granted I prefer using the browser and it looks different there, but still....
Thanks for pointing that out, you just made my day.
