I wonder if you can automate infinite creation of reaction and unboxing videos and shield yourself from infringement by giving the appearance of fair use criticism. Scrape reaction videos, generate 5 second clips of the loudest--and therefore most reactiony--parts of those videos, string them together with meaningless, generated phrases of criticism voiced by a robot or Obama, slap fair use claims in the usual places, and blanket all of YouTube with them. Just Elsagate the whole thing. Toddlers with mom's iPad will do the rest.

They keep recommending the Russia Today (RT) channel to me when it's Russian state sponsored propaganda. gently caress off with it.

I have never once clicked on that or anything that might indicate I would want to listen to lofi hip hop beats to study or relax to, yet I now have like 5 channel recommendations of just that. Youtube's algorithm is not very good.

My son's friend paid money to get youtube subs for his Fortnite streaming 'show', where all he does is run around and accusing people of cheating and calling them 'human being twy-hods' with a severe speech impediment. He then tells everyone that his two hundred subscribers are a big deal. I am so old and I don't want to be young again.

There were as many Fox News and Joe Rogan videos as there were things I had never heard of, and even two things I actually already watched (albeit one was the Sonic the Hedgehog preview). A little disappointed that learning "Li'l" is now spelled "Luh" in hip-hop is the most Old culture shock I got from that list

if there is some niche hobby you half kinda thought about but don’t want to leave your couch ever, youtube has a dozen people earning their living doing that hobby for you. you can watch three 11 minute videos, satiate your curiosity, all without putting on pants. It’s great. Well until a year or two ago when they changed how they pay popular channels because now half of all videos are “oh man ok, before we get started let me talk about my REVENUE STREAM” and it’s like, no, just go hit things with swords or put together old car engines or do a comedy bit please

The video always at the top of my recommendations is a video on how to kill ground nesting wasps yet I never watched it before. I am 100% ok with it hogging the uppermost recommended video spot compared to whatever stupid vine crap is desperately trying to wedge itself in that place.

One time I accidentally scrolled down the youtube main page and a questionnaire (not a video of one) popped up asking if I was having a good youtube experience. I said "no", it asked why and gave me 3 options. I don't remember what the other ones are but the one I picked was "the videos I ignore keep showing up as recommendations" and ever since jack poo poo has changed except I've become even quicker to pull the trigger on blacklisting channels I'm not interested in.

Who's that ratfaced mra Nazi on YouTube? I got him recommended after watching the Bill and Ted 3 announcement. It actually told me that when I blocked ratboy's video. Algorithms support facism AND noisy thumbnails.

It's crazy how "powerful" certain videos are for your recommendations, I'm sure it's based on total amount of matching content and the *ALGORITHMS* but you need to non-stop binge leftist videos for weeks to start getting anything similar to show up in your list. You accidentally click on one Chud-ranting-in-truck video or VIDEO GAME LORE EXPLAINED video and suddenly that's 99% of your recommendations until you delete them.

gary oldmans diary posted:go to your history and delete videos you regret having watched and your recommendations will improve From experience of completely erasing my entire youtube history twice in the last month it doesn't help at all. Not even one bit. Actually makes things worse since the few channels it finally realized I didn't want to see (before I started blacklisting poo poo) were back again.

History and ignore mangling did nothing to keep sugar jonny out of my kid's videos, so we got rid of YouTube entirely. The control is an illusion and you'll always be urged toward clickbait.
