RareAcumen posted:Anyone not complaining about the algorithm ruling over every screen-focused aspect of their life must be running 6 different extensions and 3 kinds of blocklists. No, you literally just turn off watch history in your youtube settings and they don't try to algorithmically serve stuff up for you anymore. In fact as of recently they literally don't bother showing you random videos from people you've never heard of at all. It rules.  I do have an extension that gets rid of the shorts tab (along with making shorts play in the normal UI rather than the godawful shorts UI) but you can also just not click that. EDIT: I'm sure a lot of other sites make it much more difficult or impossible to avoid being constantly blasted by algorithm-fueled sludge about how feminism is ruining gaming or whatever. My solution is to not use those websites. It's extremely easy and effective. Ariong fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Dec 7, 2023 |

On Youtube at least, it's easy to just block weird content. Just click the "Don't wanna see this channel" button and it's gone. You block someone on Twitter though, and there's still a hundred other versions of the same content boosted to the top of your feed saying the exact same crazy poo poo. Also I don't think the block function even loving works? If someone else reblogs the blocked poster, they'll still get recced to you. And I know the "block this ad" and "show fewer posts from" options definitely don't work at all.

Even pre-Elon era Twitter downgraded the block function to match Discord, so instead of making the blocked account invisible it just puts a sensitive content filter over their tweets. They had a perfect interaction avoidance system and got rid of it for no reason! It sucks!

The difference is simply a function of ease of creation - a chud only needs a minute to copy-paste the same bullshit talking points on twitter, meaning blocking one lets the other million go through. On youtube uploading a video takes some marginal effort. Give it a little while longer and those chuds will be able to algorithmically auto-generate their own videos based on a minute of text spewing and I'm afraid YouTube will go the same way.

It's far more efficient to look at reviews of some extensions to select the one xou like the most, and to occasionally look if the devs made a separate new version instead of updating their old blocker. Saved me a ton of headaches over the years

You'll see a lot of stuff suited to your specific interests, but word of mouth is often insular, and wider discovery is often difficult. Like, Bobby Fingers is one of my favorite finds of the past year or so, and I never saw anyone mention him before the algorithm randomly tossed his Steven Seagal diorama video at me. There's just so much of everything now that curation and discovery have been the biggest issues for going on twenty years. It really sucks that the systems designed to solve those problems are becoming increasingly hostile to users.

ChatGPT has been giving completely wrong answers more and more frequently, to the point where people have started writing articles and papers analyzing the issues driving this. Snowglobe of Doom posted:It's been noticed that generative AI is gradually getting worse over time and the quality of results is degenerating, most likely because the databases they're pulling data from are slowly accumulating higher percentages of AI created content so there's a feedback loop of all the old lovely AI outputs contributing to the creation of even shittier AI outputs down the line. This doesn't just effect art but also AI's ability to 'solve' math problems, write workable code, etc etc which are also degrading over time. fun hater posted:what would be the incentive for youtube to host mass uploaded ai generated unmarketable hateful content repulsive to advertisers. why would that happen. we know why its happening on twitter: musk has written himself into a uniquely stupid position lol. and its biting him in the rear end hard. do you think google will be sole owned by a single megalomaniac and a skeleton crew. how If someone ever figures out the chud equivalent of the Baby Shark Song then we're really gonna see some poo poo

Oh this’ll be fun discourse. He certainly does not understand the accusations he is trying to dodge so he’ll surely say more. He is the absolute dullest boy on youtube and trying to navigate politics, the kinda guy who is going to think saying ‘I’m not a huge Trump fan but the man has some good points’ is a good move to straddle the fence.

FuturePastNow posted:megacorporations that depend on ad revenue looking at twitter and thinking "we should be more like this" Youtube is so big that nobody can even see everything that’s uploaded every day, and their automated tools can be gamed. And there is a big market for reactionary and right-wing commentary: middle-school kids who leave autoplay on until they’ve been fully radicalized.

Ghostlight posted:in principle maximising ad revenue is done by showing me things i'll watch instead of leaving the site, so by definition the computer is seeking to show me interesting things based on its understanding of what those are. Things that keep you on the site and things that are interesting are not always a 1:1 ratio. Yes, it'll often show you interesting things as a byproduct of its incentives, but it'll also stuff stuff like show you things that make you mad or enable any mental health issues you have. The point is that the underlying incentive structure does not exist to benefit or enrich the end user.

Ordinary Things videos seem largely okay, and ManyKudos is basically a "make a video about three controversies in topic that has high SEO when I release it" channel. But neither are as openly right-wing as Wendigoon.
