Another problem with the "suggested videos list" is: there is no quick way to know how many people liked (or disliked) the suggested video, and their suggestion algorithm doesn't take that into account!!
There are often videos with misleading thumbnails and descriptions (link baits), with millions of views which have been disliked by 99% of viewers, and yet are in the top suggestions list. This clearly indicates that the algorithm is optimising for maximum clicks rather than optimising for a satisfactory viewing experience.
- dmerfield 13y agoThis Chrome extension shows the like/dislike ratio of each related video: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-ratings-preview/cgbhdenfmgbagncdmgbholejjpmmiank?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-ratings-pr... It's unbelievable that Youtube hasn't implemented this themselves yet.
- mcrittenden 13y agohttp://toogl.es http://toogl.es does that as well. Disclaimer, I built it.
- hrjet 13y agoThat's a great site! The "like bar" works fine on your site, however, it still doesn't work for the suggested videos that come up after watching a video. Guess there's nothing that you can do about it though. Still a great site, thanks!
- mcrittenden 13y agoYeah, but if you notice the "Related" tab on the left of videos has the same results as the related videos that load after a video ends, with the like bar included. You're right, unfortunately I can't override the contents of what's inside the player itself.
- noir_lord 13y agoThis is brilliant, design and implementation are absolutely spot on!.
- mcphilip 13y agoVery nice! I love minimal distractions. Now I just need to script out redirecting me to this site anytime I hit a YouTube.com URL.
- mcrittenden 13y agoThere is a chrome extension and bookmarklet. Check the sidebar for links.
