Yes; in particular it would be nice if the algorithm mixed in "here's some videos on a topic you watched a bunch of six months or a year ago" sometimes. But it's so fixated on the very short term of your history that if a topic ever ages out of that it's gone forever, unless you personally remember it and go searching for it...
- georgyo 6y agoIt doesn't ever seem to be short term for me... It shows me the same uninteresting videos for months. Oh, you watched a game streams? How about I show you three of that game on the top of the page until you stop coming back. The only thing that works to get rid of them is to downvote it. I don't want to give the downvote, but it's the only way to make the algorithm understand I don't care about what they are showing me.
- m_mueller 6y agoIt's kinda picky though in what it spams you with. For example I watch tons of space engineering bids, will watch anything from Scott Manley as soon as it comes out, yet it often doesn't recommend it to me, I gotta hunt it down somehow.
- jimktrains2 6y agoIt seems to try to show mw videos I've watched 6 months ago; not topics from before, but the actual videos I've already seen. Whats worse is that for videos I haven't watched it recommends the same videos for weeks, even though I never watch it. I feel like half of the recommendation slots are wasted in one of these ways.
