I keep getting old furniture restoration videos in my feed. I've seen them already. How about different channels on the same topic with new videos posted?
- risho 5y agoyou can tell youtube you've already seen it. you hit "not interested" and then click "tell us why" and then hit "i've already seen it".
- function_seven 5y agoThanks. I never got to that step because I didn't know there'd be another question.
- lucb1e 5y agoIt's quite a few clicks when you could just mentally skip over it, but indeed I wanted it to learn so I went through the trouble. Again and again. Probably more than a hundred times. It doesn't learn. I just pass over them now. The algorithm probably knows better than all of us what keeps us longer on the site anyway and the button is just a dummy.
- gothroach 5y agoWhen you select not interested, it gives the option of saying it's either because you already watched the video or that you don't like the channel. I don't know quite why they keep recommending videos I've watched recently, but at least telling YouTube I've seen a video (...) prevents it from spamming my recommendations.
