Why is anything with India content so... spammy? Endless cheap reposts with low res text and memes (or the India flag) pasted on top. Page after page of what I can only call video garbage. I have the feeling it is a cultural difference I am ignorant of.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoPerhaps there is a way to game the youtube algorithm such that they still pay out on what seems like obvious spam. But considering there are literally thousands of such videos with millions of views each, this could not possibly have escaped the attention of youtube engineers. Though maybe there is a fix in the pipeline?

- sundarurfriend 4y agoHow are you coming across this content? I'm in India and when I see Indian content recommended it's generally one of: a. Movie clips and songs b. Religious stuff like prayer songs c. Local channels that mostly do comedy (kinda like CollegeHumor used to) d. Nerdy channels like solving math puzzles or doing Geoguessr I can't really visualize what you're describing, though a sibling reply says there's "literally thousands of such videos with millions of views each" so there must be a lot of these out there. Do you get these recommended to you, or how are you searching them up?
