It actually does this on purpose, if you've watched it once there is a good chance you will watch it again.
This doesn't make much sense to you until you realize one of the biggest groups of video watchers on YouTube is toddlers.
- josteink 7y ago> it actually does this on purpose, if you've watched it once there is a good chance you will watch it again. Bullshit. If I start a random video and let it automatically progress to the next one, I will have to watch it (or parts of it) to tell if I’m interested or not. This is particularly annoying for Youtube music where starting a radio from something you like now is guaranteed to add new artists to “your artists” because you listened to them once, only to click “next” or “not interested”.
- lithos 7y agoYoung kids love the ability to predict what will happen. An example of this is Blue's Clues, initially producers/scheduling were afraid that by having reruns in the same timeslot would doom the show. Instead kids being able to watch the shows again was a great boon to their target audience's enjoyment.
- josteink 7y agoSure. And if kids say “I hate this” chances are they will hate it tomorrow too. Ignoring that kind of direct and obvious feedback is crazy.
