I've found that I only watch less Youtube over the years as their suggestions got worse for me. Now I feel like I only ever see a handful of the same suggested videos and they are all from years ago.
- RSHEPP 4y agoWatching Gophercon videos this morning, majority of my suggestions were Jordan B Peterson, Andrew Huberman and JRE. How the hell does it make that jump. I only watch software related videos at this point.
- gatonegro 4y ago> majority of my suggestions were Jordan B Peterson I'm interested in psychology and philosophy, so I'll watch videos on those subjects every so often. Naturally, the Algorithm™ becomes obsessed with recommending me Peterson videos soon after. I'm 98% sure the "Do not recommend" and "Not interested" buttons are just there for show, because I keep seeing those suggestions whenever I wander off into psychology and philosophy videos.
- halkony 4y agoPeterson's direct and indirect presence on social media is so varied it must be hard to get rid of him.
- 65 4y agoYeah. YouTube's algorithm does a really great job of stopping me from watching too much YouTube. For me it's a lot of videos I've either already seen, am not interested but continually get recommended, or are just short, low quality videos. I would like to be able to watch more YouTube videos, but their recommendations are so bad at this point that I have to find other things to do.
