The main target of these bans algorithmic content curation and the addictive nature of such algorithms and the possible harmful content that could be presented. So no?
- tigroferoce 10mo agoMaybe that instead of protesting against the regulation we should ask the platforms to provide ads-free and algorithm-free service to kids under 16.
- fireflash38 10mo agoInteresting. I don't know if you intended it, but algorithm free means no recommendations to me - even no recommended videos alongside existing videos. You want a video? You have to search for something. I think that is a surprisingly good solution. You can still access educational information, or really whatever videos you want, but you have to actively seek them out rather than ingest whatever is spit out at you.
- osn9363739 10mo agoI've used plugins like unhook in the past which do exactly this and it's nice. Now I just follow channels via rss and block everything else on the page. Same deal.
- mat_b 10mo agoSearch results are pretty much the same thing though. It's a ranked list of recommended videos. It's just based on your text instead of the video you're watching.
- osn9363739 10mo agoI'd support that.
- fogj094j0923j4 10mo agoYeah but content curation ( e.g. building your own Alrogrithm TM ) is the only way you get out of the advertisement hell of Youtube. Browsing Youtube on Incognito and your feeds filled with Mr Beast and Tryphobia AI Generated contents.
- eimrine 10mo agoDon't use recommendations unless showing to YT that your request are always great and just don't click lowball content even once on your first hours of using YT new profile.
