Blocking problem YouTubers has been great for my mental health

baseless_discourse , (edited )

This is why I don't use anything with recommendation algorithm anymore.

These recommendation algorithm are so aggressive in recommending anything related to your click (accidentally touched a ritz ad, now I will throw up if I see any more cracker ads), and also baits like these.

Now I use newpipe/mastodon/lemmy, I can click on whatever I want, and not worrying about stupid recommendations.

konomikitten ,

I'm having the same problem, YouTube just keeps recommending videos completely outside the scope of my interests and I can't figure out why.

I've been using it a whole lot less now, so I'm not sure what Google's end goal is.

Serving videos that generate the most income.

I use an ad blocker and it pretty much just blocks the entire logarithm

Yes.

baseless_discourse ,

Now your youtube is complete linear.

puchaczyk ,

Fuck youtube. You watch one wrong video and half of your recomendations are fucked. And why in 2024 there's no proper tag system yet? I guest keeping things opaque makes them more money.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I was watching Gun Jesus and almost fucked my recommendations forever when it tried to toss up Garand Thumb as a recommendation.

"Fortunately" he blew his dogwhistles way too hard in the video and I caught on that this wasn't just dudes shooting at ballistic gel in interesting ways.

Pilferjinx ,

I love gun Jesus but man I have to be ever so vigilant to not autoplay the the recommendations. Almost every other youtube gun enthusiast is a raging asshole.

FeelThePower ,

They used to have a definitive tag system and got rid of it, just like annotations and video responses. sad. Of all things, tags were probably the best too. The new algorithmic garbage has sucked for years.

Go into your YT history (https://www.youtube.com/feed/history) and delete the offending video. Your recommendations should be back to normal within 24 hours (ish). There's even a search bar for it.

KillingTimeItself ,

these are AI generated videos meant to garner views and ad sense dollarinos.
They do nothing except waste your time, and probably lie to you.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Yes all those "list" videos are narrated by AI robots and I've learned to avoid the temptation and never click those.

KillingTimeItself ,

they're all pretty much ewaste on delivery. Thankfully there are a lot of good smaller channels, who actually produce content out there though.

600K views. whata fuck

Yeller_king ,

600k people who just had to know what kinda nonsense it was.

atyaz ,

I wish I could be this optimistic

Yeller_king ,

I'm really trying 😭

LemmyKnowsBest ,

bots. it's probably all bots.

Ignoring the original post: I'm so happy to see another Tasting History fan in the wild!

Max Miller seems so wholesome and gives me hope for this crazy world.

frankspurplewings ,

Literally one of my favorite YouTubers!

Asafum ,

Oh hell yeah he's great! I'm ashamed to admit he's how I learned that schnitzel is not actually a type of sausage as I previously had assumed for whatever reason lol

RizzRustbolt ,

You knew what you were getting into with waffles.

ApfelstrudelWAKASAGI OP ,

First waffles, then "is Elon musk the second coming of Jesus christ". Beware the slippery slope!

I haven't been getting that level of craziness yet, but I just always ignore practically everything that isn't someone I've subbed to and isn't about a cartoon/anime I like, isn't from someone I have already seen before and like but ain't subbed to, and isn't a game/topic I'm interested in.

I've seen some of the people I see on the front page of the Odysee app that I've never interacted with in any other way than scrolling past them appear on the front page of my patched yt app. It's insane, but it won't be a big issue for me, in terms of strictly just using the app, until they replace every suggestion with those nutjobs.

LodeMike ,

Purge (or turn off) your watch history.

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

God how I love using newpipe or invidious to watch yt instead. Whenever I feel like finding stuff, the recommendations are always related to the video currently being watched, which can lead to interesting rabbit holes.
