The problem with this is that your suggestions are based on past viewing history, which isn’t always related to future needs. Examples: on one youtube account we primarily watch different types of media on, we watched a Labrinth music video. Neither my wife or I like labyrinth, but now our music section in YouTube is completely consumed by labyrinth music videos. One or two viewings isn’t indicative of us being labrinth fans. This is what we mean by the AI is dumb and makes things worse for the user. The music video section on that account is basically useless now. The same thing will happen with anything - one time I watched a restoration video for an old lamp I had, and YouTube assumed I now mostly wanted to watch antique restoration videos for the next 6 months.
- zimpenfish 5y agoSame issue here - if I watch one video from a channel I'm not subscribed to, my recommendations will be flooded with that and related channels. Even picking "don't recommend this channel" only cuts down the spam, doesn't stop it - which is annoying because, sometimes, I've enjoyed what I've watched and I wouldn't mind the odd recommendation ... just not a dashboard full every single day from then on. Oh and "XYZ viewers also watch... [5 videos by XYZ]" is such an egregious failure that I can't help but laugh every time I see it.
- eloisius 5y agoGod. You watch one ICP video so that you can laugh at the “fucking magnets, how do they work?” line…
