Sounds awesome
- charcircuit 5y agoThe recommendation feed is essential for finding new videos / sorts / streams to watch. My mix is useful if you just want to put some music on. I don't see how lacking these features improves the experience. It just makes it harder to find videos.
- seanhunter 5y agoMaybe recommendations work great for you. For me, the recommendations are worse than useless. I can't remember the last time it recommended something I actually wanted to watch. For instance: today the top 50 recs are all either things I've seen before or are videos that are from my subscriptions and I have decided I'm not interested in watching. Apart from that there are only two actual organic recommendations: 1) How to survivie outside in -25C weather. - I have no interest whatsoever in bushcraft and bouldering but youtube has decided I should be and keeps pushing these since someone in my house is into these topics which shows there is IP-based topic targetting going on 2) Why the Dutch government has the best graphic design - I don't even know where to begin with this one My mix I actively hate and literally remove every single time I see it. I wish there was a flag to turn it off. When I put music on I want to put a specific thing on - I don't want youtube to decide for me. Doubly so since it is so profoundly and consistently wrong in its video recommendations.
