Every time I set up a new computer, and before I log into Youtube and see my own recommendations, I look at the raw front page and am shocked that people find all that bullshit entertaining. Nothing but clickbait, drama, and political videos as far as the eye can see.
I recently started a new google account and was actually disturbed by the absolute shit on the raw front page.
I actually tried to watch some of the videos to get an inkling of what is supposed to be appealing and I just couldn't. It was sooooo bad.
It's like any other social, they show you what the masses watch, andò what they want you to watch (mostly because they're going to profit more if you watch ultramonetized videos)
Exactly, it's total garbage. I've been training the algo for years, no way I'm giving that up
the algorithm is changing form me, and also for other people
