just because i listened to a single track from the Elden Ring soundtrack does not mean I’d like 200 ‘ELDEN RING LORE’ videos shoved in my face. None of them even have <10k views - they’re all like less than 1,000 views.
stop recommending ‘AI voice dubs this song’ videos that also have <10k views jesus christ, I don’t want to hear a shitty version of Frank Sinatra singing the End of Evangelion song.
oh wow I looked up a very specific Frasier clip two months ago?? Thanks for recommending nothing but Frasier videos since that I haven’t watched. God forbid I watch a single Jerma clip or I will be inundated with “Jerma talks chat through making thermite” videos for half a year.
To make matters worse, you hit “don’t recommend this video I don’t like this video” and two days later, the very same video pops up again. I’ve now resorted to just “don’t ever recommend this channel to me again” even for small <10k views videos because that seems to be the only way to permanently prevent the same video from showing up at a later date.
No clue how youtubes rec algorithm got so fucked up. It used to be decent, sometimes it’d recommend cool obscure bands or whatever that I’d actually like, now it can’t even recommend the next video in a numbered series. And its prioritization is bizarre. Like, 5 years ago I watched a bunch of music videos from an artist I like and they were good I enjoyed them, but now all of a sudden, it is literally the ONLY videos it seems to want to recommend. It’s busting ass to autoplay the same three or four videos after every single thing I watch and if I’m not quick enough to get away it plays it presumably reinforcing some nightmare feedback loop. I didn’t even like autoplay at first, but I’ve grown accustomed to it for just letting things go on in the background but I guess I’m just gonna disable that and start nuking channels even if I like them. Fucking enshittification.
