I've heard reports of this happening but for well over a year, YouTube was still recommending relatively high quality videos to me that went along with my interests.
Until last week.
Somehow, somewhere along the line I must have clicked on some sort of "influencer" video. Now all I see are hundreds of hyper Minecraft videos, "I filled my house with 1 million packing peanuts" videos, etc. I have tried manually searching for some of the topics that interest me again, but these influencer-type videos still overrule whatever I try to manually teach it.
I don't know what happened, but it has ruined it for me.
- fencepost 4y agoYou can review your history on YouTube and remove videos (or at least tell it to not use them for recommendations). You may find one obvious culprit a few weeks ago.
- unsupp0rted 4y agoI have the same problem. I don’t know what I did to tell YouTube I’m interested in Minecraft (never tried it, never watched someone try it). I can vaguely see why YouTube is pushing right-wing conspiracy videos on me, but Minecraft? Mr. Beast? I’ve blocked perhaps two or three dozen of these channels. Take the hint, YouTube.
