Just turn watch history off and find your own way. My YT homepage is blank. Fuck suggestion algorithms.
I had mine off for years. I would look at my subscribed channel feed and that's pretty much it. But I recently turned it back on, and I actually like it. I pretty much only watch videos about science, math, philosophy, technology, SNL, and... Symphony of the Night randomizer races.
My entire recommended feed is just more of the same, and I've discovered tons of new channels to subscribe to. A lot of the channels I subscribe to only post like once every 2-4 weeks. I don't want to have to do a search just to have something to watch at mealtime. Having random things recommended is nice.
If I watch a weird video out of the blue, I might see two or three recommended videos of that kind next time I open YouTube. Not at all like what OP's screenshot is showing. I even went on a deep dive watching Snooker videos and it would still only recommend a few a day. And after I stopped watching him, I no longer see a single one of those videos in my feed.
I'd say it's working pretty great for me. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Does no one use the Subscription page anymore? Are people even aware of its existence at this point?
I used to utilize the subscription page. Then Google replaced YouTube accounts with Google accounts. I haven't logged in since.
Yes, I'm old.
Do you want to link your account with Google+?
Ok, we'll ask you again later.
I don't subscribe to anything, but I'd prob use it if I did. I only go to YT for one-off videos and just search for what I need.
Yep subscribing is the way to go.
The algorithm is dumb. It will even recommend the same video you watched before if you let it...
That is why I started liking (or dis-liking) every single video I watch, if it has the thumbs up/down I certainly know I already watched it and move on...
With that said I don't know if I am tweaking or making my algorithm dumber lmao.
Ive found using clients to watch helps. They are generally much more intelligent on the history side.
What do you mean by clients?
Bump. This is what I do too. So much easier to just avoid it entirely.
