I use the like buttons to show myself I've watched a video. It does not result in optimal video recommendations, but hey ho.

- encom 2y agoThe (dis)like buttons are now completely pointless on Youtube, since they removed dislikes when people disliked the wrong things and made Susan (RIP) sad. It feels like the Youtube algorithm is on drugs now. I get a lot of uninteresting recommendations of videos with no views from channels with no subscribers. A lot of recommendations of things I've already watched recently. A lot of recommendations of stuff that's extremely old (a lot of which I've already watched). And these recommendations persist for ages. Somehow it must know after a while, after presenting me the same video 50 times that I'm not going to watch it. It's so tiresome. And god help me if I watch a few cat videos. My recs are going to be full of cats for weeks. I feel like I have to watch cat videos in incognito.
