Remember what they took from you

Now I have the keyboard cat tune stuck in my head.

They ruined their feed a few years back. It used to recommend good videos, now the only recommended videos are some pasty white person jamming political views in click bait thumbnails

Mine is all ASMR medical role plays and engine swap tutorials, I don’t know what you’re on about.

It's really astonishing that with everything Google knows about me, including the hundreds or thousands of videos I've voted on, it can't come up with any good recommendations for channels I haven't seen before. But then Google search in general has gotten so bad over the last several years too. It must be working like crazy to prune anything that might be offensive.

It used to reccomend good music, now it just reccomends the same 100 things in the categories I like, over and over.

I found a number of niche bands I like on youtube years ago, but it no longer recommends small stuff like that, not even if I watch other small stuff. Heck, it's actually hard to get to stuff of medium popularity. I don't want to listen to Of Mice and Men. I don't want to listen to Boum Boum Boum by Mika. I EXPECIALLY don't want to listen to AmaLee's English covers of anime songs. If I did want to listen to English covers of anime songs, it wouldn't be AmaLee.

It almost feels like youtube recommended is full of stuff someone manually whitelisted and then it gets brainworms about those things.

Youtube does not want you to explore and find new stuff. Go click on a video with 200 views, only thing that you will get in the recommendations are mega popular youtube videos with 1-10 M views. I hate it so much.

I also like how when you search for something you get 5 relevant results, and the rest is ""videos you might enjoy"". Get fricked, if you are looking for an obscure video and don't know the exact title because actually here are some """"other relevant results""".
