It's kind of funny that this is a thing too. Sometimes, I'll get the pop culture outrage grifters recommended to me since I like to dip into the current events regarding comic books. Otherwise, I get just random junk. Recommendations to view uploaded movie clips or whatever but nothing close to what I regularly watch. I always feel like the Youtube recommendation system is flakey. It doesn't even pick up the fact that I'm subscribed to a ton of small channels for cooking and rarely puts their content on the feed. It's wild I swear.
- jshaqaw 4y agoExactly. Do Nazi's offend me? Sure (sorry if that's a spicy opinion for some of the people who left response comments here). But as a computer person I'm offended by how lazy and bad the recommendation system is. After two decades the system should be able to segment the person who just wants to watch cooking videos and check out the latest Spiderman news and leave the culture wars for Twitter. It is a disservice to the end-user and to all the amazing creators for whom Youtube is as present an irreplaceable venue for distribution.
- ladyattis 4y agoIt's kind of like the whole SEO sites that use to plague Google back in the early 2000s. Obviously today they deal with similar SEO nonsense in the form of review sites but at least if you're not looking for a review on a product then you won't usually get them in your first page results. Too bad YT devs don't have that decent of an algorithm for the front page.
