It's that algorithm, you gotta keep it tightly controlled or it goes off the rails. I watched about 6 tiny home videos with my wife and now my ENTIRE recommended list is tiny homes. So now I do a tiny home video or two, then a dog video or something, then perhaps reuters news, then back to tiny homes (or whatever kick im on at the moment).
Before this, I had accidentally left my you tube playing on DnD ambient sound videos, and it wrecked my recommendation lists lol.
- oefrha 7y agoMy recommendations are okay as long as I turn off watch history. Mostly just celebrity bullshit and stuff. I don’t watch what’s recommended anyway. Now the ads are another story. I already turned off personalizations and YouTube claims to base the ads on my location and the current video, which, if true, means a lot of people in the area watching COVID-19 related videos is being led to this very publication.
- chongli 7y agoHave you tried removing tiny home videos from your YouTube history? That might help.
- russdpale 7y agoThat's a good idea!
- pxtail 7y agoAbsolutely, if I want to watch something unusual/new or out of my interests then I'm opening it in incognito tab. Few tiny mistakes and my feed could look like "Trending" tab shudders
