- vmfunction 3y agobut I want it to hide on the client side.
- wholinator2 3y agoOut of curiosity, why?
- vincheezel 3y agoI’m not OP but I use YouTube a lot. I would assume two reasons: Some people would rather scalp themselves than create a google account (valid) Even when logged in and using the “Not interested” or the “don’t recommend channel” button, YouTube will sometimes straight up ignore you.
- aantix 3y agoThe issue is that there’s an infinite number of channels that do Minecraft videos. It’s like playing whack-a-trying to hide all the Minecraft channels. I want to hide the topic, not an individual channel.
- striking 3y agoThere are two options. "Not interested" nudges the algorithm away from the topic while "Don't recommend <type> from this channel" immediately hides the channel from recommendations. If your nudges don't feel effective enough, you can also manage your view history. Removing any Minecraft videos you may have accidentally watched from your history will help hide them from future recommendations.
- aantix 3y agoI’ve tried all of the above and Minecraft keeps coming up. I think the engagement numbers are tracked per user, and that’s what they recommend off of. Data outside the scope of the listed user history. It’s insanity. And infuriating. I want a diverse set of recommendations, not another 1,000 Minecraft videos.
