YouTube has a "Show me something different" button that'll show up every once in a while. I don't click on that button but that's my choice. Give people an option, sure - but don't force it on them.
It'd be pretty sweet if autoplay also followed this principle... but it doesn't, so I just disable it.
- wholinator2 4y agoReally? I've used YouTube for years and i don't think I've ever seen a "show me something different" button. Occasionally it'll have a too bar with a list of topics i can choose from but it refuses to let me enter my own desired topic and seemingly only randomly shows me the bar anyway. I find myself frustrated that it's never there when i want it, and a selection that was there last time is not there this time. Very frustrating to see the potential of a better user experience but be refuted it for seemingly no reason.
- munk-a 4y agoIf you're familiar with the YouTube homepage (where it displays videos in rows by topic) you can usually scroll down and find one of the cards a sort of colorful "Show me something different" card instead of a regular video card. I putzed around with YouTube for a bit and was unable to get it to come up but it's a pretty rare thing to see - it's possible it was a limited time feature trial but it also just might require a lot of weird actions to summon. I swear I have seen it before and it wasn't just a fever dream though!
