The exact same thing happens for me on YouTube, although I guess YouTube doesn't start with an auto-playing random sequence of videos to quick-start the search for videos you find interesting. Still though, I end up in very odd niches that I never specifically searched for.
- Aromasin 6y agoOne thing I will say is that I feel YouTube doesn't do this to nearly as large of degree as TikTok. YouTube might suggest me videos that are outside my cluster of interests occasionally, but normally only those with a reasonably high view count. They will recommend low view count videos that are within my interests however. TikTok on the other hand will sometimes show me a video with almost no views, that is completely random, and I actually do like it. I feel like YouTube has gotten slightly stale in that it tries so hard to show me either viral videos or videos it deems to be of my interests, that the content becomes repetitive. In recent months it's become better at it, but still plays it safe with recommendations.
