No, it won't. Youtube is kind-of like Reddit or HN. "Good" stuff floats to the top, "bad" stuff disappears into nothing.

- coolandsmartrr 2y agoThat quality filter may come from highly-tuned personalization. I remember seeing low-quality but viral content on YouTube, so I kept telling it "Don't Recommend This" for quite a while (month-ish). Now it's better, but the recommendation algorithm needs a lot of samples labeled negative.
- magicalhippo 2y agoI've never had to do this much, just a few cases. However I'm also super-cautious not to view slop on my main account, instead doing so in a private tab. So not feeding the algorithm seems to work as well.
- jeltz 2y agoYeah, if you decide to check out slop once your feed will be drowned in spam. Similar to how I looked at a couple more pro-Russian videos to get s nuanced perspective and then my whole feed was filled with conspiracy shit and nazi stuff.

- presentation 2y agoIn general this is true but I find the pandering that creators do to please the algorithm to make them produce worse videos, which is frustrating.
- null0pointer 2y ago“Good” is not what “the algorithm” is selecting for.
