That's even worse when you make videos, especially when they search for something that is episodic like a let's play.
I'd much rather have youtube recommend episode 1 or the first video of the playlist to people but instead it gives them a random one in the middle. This causes the viewer to get mad and press thumbs down. This also makes the "average viewed minutes" go drastically down.
That's probably the source of most of my thumbs downs.. It also causes ridiculous stats like episode 27 of 50 has 100 times the number of views as the first episode but not more view time.
- beezischillin 8y agoThat recommendation issue you point out is extremely annoying since YouTube has no way to reverse the order of videos in a playlist. More often than not for some reason Let's Play and other chronological video authors create their playlists in a reverse chronological order, latest first so it's basically impossible to binge them unless you manually click on the next episode yourself.
- tyfon 8y agoI make mine in chronological order! It's actually just a playlist setting for the creator but the default is reverse and that makes the whole list useless. You even have chrome and firefox plugins to fix it. I also link the playlist in each youtube description but unfortunately they are not so easy to spot on app/tv/game consoles. Also, in this case I think it's OK to youtube-dl the list and play them in order locally.
- beezischillin 8y agoIt's eternally appreciated when creators consider doing that! Unfortunately I use Safari so it's not an option for me, sadly one of the very few downsides to using Safari is relatively weak extension support.
