Even YouTube isn't immune. Many times I search and the top result is text-to-speech trash with a stock image. Countless channels exist that just do text-to-speech and auto-upload of news articles found online, without even citing them.
- lrem 6y agoI literally never got a result like this. Are you searching for something too niche to actually have quality content on YouTube? Or is your search buble such a sad place? Disclaimer: I work in Google, but nowhere near any of this.
- sn_master 6y agoIf there is a way to list my disliked videos I would give you at least a dozen examples just from this week alone.
- colejohnson66 6y agoTry culling your watch history. It influences what you’re shown. If you want some clickbait trending video (even for a few seconds), it’ll influence your video selection for quite a while unless you remove it.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoI actually turned my watxh history off altogether. For a couple of years I only got recommendations for stuff directly related to videos that I clicked Like on (mixed in with stuff I'd already watched, which is expected since I have no watch history), and I manually curated everything with the Not Interested button. But lately YT has beem recommending utter trash that is not relevant to me in any way.
- lrem 6y ago"But 85% like it more this way!" :( I recently tried a new niche - I tried to choose binoculars. 90% of results seem to be, admittedly well shot and edited, folks reading out the marketing materials. I think we're reaching peak "content".
