I’m just… wondering what the internal corporate process that led to this. Like, they had to get people to code this feature, like imagine being the person who gets told “ oh yah, you and your team are implementing and integrating the new feature that sorts video feeds by color.”
I haven't seen this but it doesn't seem like a big deal, unless they're spamming you with it. people seem to have a pathological need to be mad about youtube updates tbh
Why would it be? It could easily do things like- purple video of jacaranda flowers in bloom with peaceful music, then purple video of a guy wearing all purple giving the camera the finger while death metal plays.
Color says absolutely nothing about a video's contents.
It's not just colour it's colour within what the algorithm already thinks is nice. If you only watch 4hour fish tank videos you'll only get 4 hour fish tank videos, just with purple fish. It's not like you have to just play this live either. Just generate the videos and add each non offensive one to a Playlist to run at the office. Sure it's not like a killer feature, I also doubt it took much effort at all to create.
The algorithm is far from perfect. And how would it know you were planning for a reception and wanted those kind of videos if you normally watched death metal videos?
yeah that happened to me an hour ago. I chose the middle one because that was my favorite color scheme of the three choices. Result: the associated video selections were nothing special But I wonder if they took into account my algorithms I already had going, plus the blue purple color scheme 🤔
Bro this made me so mad, holy fuck. Just show me the channels I'm subscribed to and adjacent content, that's it. You haven't succeeded at that in years.
Cute or not, it's wasting money and time that could be spent on actually improving the app. YouTube constantly pushes more ads more aggressively saying they don't make profit, while wasting money in such absurd way
I didn't used to sort mine by colour, but then I noticed when sorting by purpose, I'd usually end up with only one or two colours (often blue), and so now I sort by colour and purpose to I have a nice gradient
