maybe they're trying to avoid paying out so much to people with a huge number of subscribers or are just trying to give new users (or ones without many followers) a chance, idk

like i used to browse youtube in private windows. one time the front page had a video with like 15 views that was some woman in india preparing an alter for a festival. i kept an eye on it and it got thousands of views over the next hour or so. her other videos were all 10s of views. just the weirdest poo poo. why that video? why recommend it to lots of people on the front page? what does that woman think happened?

the basic problem with neural poo poo is that it's brutally opaque. they almost certainly don't know how their own poo poo works, it's great

I think the 100 view video thing is them experimenting with ways to get people to watch new channels instead of just suggesting more of the same channels you already watch. They had some success with this like 6 months to a year ago with more aggressively promoting some pretty good videos with like 10k views that were still related to the subjects you generally watch. now it seems maybe they're trying to replicate that success with even smaller channels cause its pretty hard to get even 10k views. however, this seems to just lead to the algorithm dredging up alot of junk. imo its good that they're actually making these tweaks and experimenting with things cause giving more stuff exposure is good.

YT lately has a totally blank landing page with no recs for brand new users, what's that about? seems like an extremely anti-Number thing to do

probably not intentional YouTube seems to be on the cusp of forgiving me for using an ad blocker, sometimes it just loads (a blocked ad) forever instead of telling me playback is not allowed

I haven't had any problem since like the first week or two after they started the anti-adblocker stuff, during which I had to refresh my ublock origin filter lists about once a day In fact I had actually forgotten about it

haveblue posted:probably not intentional no i’m pretty sure the blank landing is intentional. when i’d open a private window i’d just get the average youtube zeitgeist recs (so mr beast, music, news, a few other big youtubers) they were doing an a/b test where you’d either get the general recs landing page, or a blank page that just says “start searching to watch videos” then they chose b and you only ever get a blank page with “start searching to watch videos” now

it's usually blank for me because i have watch history (and therefore recommendations) off. sometimes it shows popular videos but sometimes it doesn't (maybe a 30/70 split in favor of not) obviously that seems to be some kind of a/b thing but has been happening for years, so idk

mystes posted:I think it can be even more extreme. Sometimes people who have like 100 views on all their videos will make a new video and randomly get like 10,000 views i always assume this is because the person with 100 views spent $40 and bought the 10k views

post hole digger posted:along those lines, given how many people still see reddit as the last search engine index place to find real info from real humans, its funny to wonder how many ai bots are posting responses to reddit messages in the same way, but operated by 3rd parties and not disclosing that they are ai at all From 404 Media this morning (no link because it was an email newsletter that didn't seem to link anywhere) quote:For years, people who have found Google search frustrating have been adding “Reddit” to the end of their search queries. This practice is so common that Google even acknowledged the phenomenon in a post announcing that it will be scraping Reddit posts to train its AI. And so, naturally, there are now services that will poison Reddit threads with AI-generated posts designed to promote products.

I always thought that whole "just add Reddit" to you google search thing was the owners astroturfing to get the site traffic up ahead of their IPO, since I only started seeing people really say that since last year

There's essentially no discussion threads any more outside of Reddit and a few niche communities  , the majority of which are car discussion boards.Speaking of which. Who the hell is running those car forums? They are way too similar and organized to be randos. Is it some stealth thing by the manufacturers themselves?
