>>212371162 (OP)
yeah using youtube raw is pretty bad.
its useable with browser extensions that let you actually hide stuff and filter videos.
for example you could hide every video under 20 minutes, or everything with a keyword in the title, or everything from a specific channel.

>>212371162 (OP)
i remove clips from my history manually whenever I watch something I know I don't want more of.

It's annoying to have to do it, but at least it works. You notice it immediately when you forget to do it because your feed instantly gets vomited a bunch of shit you have zero interest in.

I fucking hate this algorithm slop era of the internet.

>>212371303
>browser extensions
just use freetube

>>212371162 (OP)
The users of this board are real bad at using youtube

>>212371303
I use that extension that removes the forced translations and it triggers the anti-adblock mechanism and everything lags as hell

>>212371162 (OP)
The stuff I see on YouTube looks much better (less blurry, higher definition) than the movies I watch on my browser.
How so?

>>212371567
because that costs money
the free streaming website makes money from serving you junk trash ads like 4chan. youtube sells lawyers and coca cola.

i feel like they tweaked the algo within the last couple months. it feels more heavy handed in how far it sways now.

always include

if you want videos that are gay as fuck with clickbait spam

>>212371651
I don't know what you're talking about. It still just recommends me video game lets plays and movie reviews from nobodies with the occasional food or animal related video. It sounds like it's an issue with what you seek out.

>>212371651
i dont use youtube enough to have noticed it, but it could be a cost cutting measure.
running an algorithm for every user can take a lot of compute, especially for a heavy user. they can just dial down how much compute is invested and give you a shittier feed.

This is absolutely essential but it isn't perfect.

There is a limitless supply of slop channels like this to show you. The algorithm is just way too sensitive.

>>212371567
YouTube are absolutely loaded so they can not only host and deliver large files but they also have much better compression algorithms than other sites. They even held onto higher quality video files than they could stream at the time which is why you have some pre-HD videos that are just in HD now, because they stored the file for future proofing.

I never get videos from Mr beast and these other popular viral YouTubers,my front page is more of what I recently watched or videos with millions of views from like 20 years ago OR videos with less than 100 views, very bizarre stuff

>>212371836
>what the fuck are you talking about, spaz?
1. yt recommends faggy shit
2. you "dont recommend this channel"
3. yt shits its pants and now only recommends channels you're subscribed to

I turn watch history off so I don't get any recommendations, can't even browse i have to search for what I want.

what now big boy

>>212371863
>>212371911
They do this to help newer channels. If you didn’t have a steady audience 8 years ago, it’s very difficult to gain any traction when starting your channel.

>>212372020
I have watch history disabled because I like to rewatch videos a lot and there's no other way to disable youtube saving stop points on videos, which are just at the end of the video 99% of the time for me.

>actually USING youtube
If you get to a youtube video any other way than through a link someone sent you or a bookmark you have saved, lower your tone when you fucking talk to me, plebeian consoomer cattle.

>>212371301
unfortunately you can still see blocked channels in search results, and youtube unblocks them after a year or so.

>>212371162 (OP)
Turn off your watch history.

I mostly watch women showing their pussies and music videos.

>>212372395
>women showing their pussies
?

Are there any female youtubers with hairy forearms left? I used to watch Helisa Falcao but she hasn't uploaded anything in years. And that Nygard chick lasered.

Plenty of goon material on Youtube.

Still not deleted.

Someone told me the name of their youtube channel and even when I searched for it, the exact 2 words, I still had to scroll for 2 minutes through pages of streamerslop and bullshit third world household tips to get to it.

Search is absolutely cooked

Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi. And swap to a different one every time JewTube adapts to one of them.

this works ok for channels but does nothing for the same kinds of videos from different channels

>>212372051
why did they make it so only 5 videos show up in a search result then?

>>212371162 (OP)

when i havent clicked at a rec 50 times in a row they maybe could get the message

When did youtube peak? For me, it was 2007.

this was literally half my recs like a year ago, at least they tweaked this now

>>212373209
this. unless you want to do this every 10 mins for the rest of your life it has little effect

>>212371162 (OP)
The view times are completely cooked too. Like actually rigged. If I watch a smaller YouTuber the red bar stays exactly where I stopped watching in my history. If I scroll past some Top 40 niggaboo music/pumped normie creator and it auto plays for 5 seconds the history has it like I watched the whole thing

>>212371301
The meta game of youtube is opening things in private tabs so you dont get them in.your history and avoid.the recs (not that it matters bc your recs are all things you literally just watched or your subs)

>>212374283
Spoony fan?

I like subscribing to someone then unsubscribing so they get the notification and then realise its back down then I resubscribe wait abit then unsubscribe. I so the same with likes and comments. Remove it after so it goes away. I like doing that to small channels the most.

>>212371301
>reccomends the same videos and channels after a little while

>>212374451
I had a single nutjob downvote one of my videos hundreds of times a few years ago. Don't think it even affected anything.

Meanwhile

Youtube really turned into hot dogshit

>>212374605
It doesnt but people like getting subs and likes and comments etc, so I take it away to make them know how crushing and brutal the real world is.

You guys need to try the addon BlockTube. It’s basically that thing but it actually works and the block duration lasts forever. I’m shamelessly shilling it because it’s fantastic at making YouTube semi-usable, alongside SponsorBlock and Unhook.

the question that is always begged is why would you want to at all? youtube is literally nothing but garbage.

>>212371162 (OP)
The search function is beyond fucking useless. 10+ years ago, you could type "1995 honda civic 0-60 acceleration" and you'd get thousands of 15 second long videos of civics accelerating, now you'll get zero. The videos are all there, and still being uploaded, but they only want you watching 30 minute videos of narcissists talking to the camera about nothing, or boomerbait AI slop

>>212371710

>>212371181
That might make sense if anything you search for didn't come up with infinite "shorts" videos that are completely unrelated to what you are trying to find. Even if you search for videos or channels that you know exist it will just come up with random bullshit.

>>212374605
Disliking videos actually boosts them in the algorithm because they only look at “video interactions” not what those interactions actually are.

Turn off history. I've had it turned off for 10+ years now. Just watch what you look up

I normally get inundated with breast feeding tutorials

> search "history 18th century Robespierre"
2 or 3 videos of some faggot's selfie in the thumbnail of a 20 min video
the rest are "Young Robespierre" and "lil Nigga Jacobin featuring yip yap MC", tons of NIGGER MUSIC RAP VIDEOS all because these coons have to coop every fucking name

>>212376643
I do this and also use a link that takes me to my history page, so I never have to even see any recommended videos.

>>212376722
>20 min video
these faggot "youtubers" that always have their fucking selfie in the thumbnail needing to make 15 - 20 minute videos on the most simplest of topics just to get that engagement. Videos are always filled with extraneous garbage
> JFK ASSASSINATION: first 13 minutes is JFK birth place, parents, his early childhood........
padding the video to reach that engagement threshold

I just realized I'm barely watching shit on youtube anymore. Just some animal wildlife videos and the odd movie/game trailer.

I agree it's frustrating that we can't have a simple "forget what you think I want" button that erases all their annoying saved preferences and provides a nice random selection again. You can erase all the data they keep on you and It won't matter, because of course you can't erase any of the data that they have collected about you. Data collection should be strictly illegal.
