Also, to add to this...
One idea I've had is that it would be interesting if Google created a webmaster partner program to help build the web they want to see. Webmasters could join and embed Google's code into their website, and Google could get access to engagement stats and anything else to help them determine positive reactions by users (instead of pretending they are not pulling it from Chrome - see DOJ trial).
At YouTube, Google does a great job of helping creators, telling them specifically what they want, and promoting high-quality content that people love.
I'd love to see Google get the data they need so they can do that.
- techjamie 2y agoIs this not literally what Google Analytics is? I'm not sure if they're using it for everything you're hoping to have, but it seems like it basically performs that function.
- bwb 2y agoThey they are not allowed to use the data... which seems weird given Chrome and DOJ details. But I've never seen any details of them using it, and every statement is they don't use it.
- deprecative 2y agoYouTube is flooded with AI narrated shorts content. Are you experiencing a different reality? It seems like when I try to venture out of my bubble I'm getting AI videos (not about the topic but zero effort prompt daisy chaining) now even outside of shorts (that I wish I could disable completely, I never mean to hit the button).
- bwb 2y agoWeird, I've gotten nothing like that but I never do shorts since they are just sugar and no filling.
- deprecative 2y agoI absolutely hate YT shorts. Unfortunately all of my social circle are unmedicated ADHDers who live on hyper short form content. If a YT video is less than 15 minutes I just won't watch it.
