It's intentional. Controversy is a strong signal for the youtube algorithm.
- simion314 7y agoI don't think so, the videos I was referring were music videos. I engaged with it in a way but hitting dislike on a music genre I don't want to listen(I normally don't dislike things because is not my genre) in the hope the algorithm will learn but it was even worse, it did not learned that I disliked artist X and genre Y it continue to play the exact video that I disliked, The bad algorithm will force the unhappy user to use manually created playlists leaving less people to engage with the algorithm and probably have the algorithm getting worse in time as more users will avoid it And even more interesting trying to google "how to make youtube not show X" it is a complete fail, it will just show you youtube video results.
