I have been watching YouTube basically since they started. Despite having over 1000 subscriptions and an ungodly amount of watch hours if I watch a SINGLE video that’s outside my usual wheelhouse my recommendation page will be tainted for like a week trying to get me to watch more of whateber thing I dared venture into.
Been dealing with this BS for over 1.5 yrs now. Nothing fixes it. Skill issue on the YT dev team.
As someone who has watched 6 of those videos in the screenshot from across 3 different channels, I apologize for my part in training the algorithm into thinking others who watch a single Balatro video might be interested in watching all the variety streamers play Balatro.
Say his name and he appears! I believe in
Joe HendryBalatro!I don’t know who this Baletro guy is, but daaaaaaamn. He owns your youtube.
It’s John Balatro, he play his card well.
Lol y is your watch history still on
Don’t act like disabling Watch History stop Google from recording your watch history for internal purposes.
Watch history is useful if you actively curate your algorithm feed. If you don’t engage with the tools the algorithm interacts with you can quickly end up with a free-for-all on your main page.
Oh it staight up disables the home page. Search > algo.
A curated algorithm on Youtube is honestly amazing. I get comments about mine all the time when people come over and see it on my TV.
I got way better due to them tho 😅
Why isn’t it recommending Northernlion :(
Pause your YouTube watch and search history. It makes a world of a difference.
I like videos I care about and want to see more of. Watching a single junk video (in theory) doesn’t ruin my feed.
I remember when I Ran by Flock of Seagulls was randomly playing in my head so I decided to listen to it. YouTube took that as me finding a new favourite band. I mostly listen to industrial metal.
Use Freetube, it’s a FOSS desktop application where you can import your subs and playlists
Best selling point is how the homepage is the most recent videos by your subscriptions in order, from most to least recent
I honestly prefer it to youtube in every way
Nice recommendation, thanks. I’m starting to push away from all these US big tech companies (hence why I’m here in Lemmy) and finding an alternative to YouTube was hard to find. I just hope they don’t get into the same troubles as Vanced.
I’ve been using it for about a year now and I honestly have nothing but praise for it
Because it uses invidious as a backend for video sources, freetube can have similar problems to it (might have a day without access to yt vids), but that’s only happened twice in the past year that I can remember
Trying it on my phone,thanks for the push.
Fuck big tech. They will keep enshittifying everything unless they are kept afraid all users might leave.
What is balatro?
The downfall of my productivity at work
Look it up on YouTube!
ROFL
roflcopter
Lmao
the best way to describe it is a poker roguelike. its weird but addicting, i like it a lot.
Drugs given video game form.
A well-liked card game on the computer.
youtube algo is such a piece of shit.
Watch lets plays and tech channels, every day, for months.
Accidentally watch 30 seconds of a right wing psychopaths video because they buried the lede with the video title, and all youtube wants to show me for 2 weeks is right wing extremist bullshit, and takes months to get back into getting suggested the shit i normally watch on the daily.
I hate how pro right wing YouTube is. Half the time I make an anti-Trump comment, it gets censored. But plenty of pro-MAGA comments get through constantly.
I can tell that I’m getting censored because my comments simply won’t be there when I go back to the same video from a different account. But it’ll show up in my comment history with a “some comments might not be visible yet” disclaimer at the top. Sometimes if I keep reposting the comment it’ll eventually go through, but by then the video has stopped being promoted by the algorithm and so no one sees it. This only happens to me when I get political.
most websites like youtube/twitter/facebook/etc/etc are all heavily pro-right wing.
They’ve claimed in the past they don’t want to appear “biased” by cracking down on right wingers for rules violations. but honestly, it was obviously bullshit since they had no problem with “biased” appearances when cracking down on any other group, and often for far far far less than what right wingers routinely get away with.
Right wingers are where their bread is buttered. They buy more ads, they run less adblocking, and they click more ads.
I totally feel you but for a different reason. I played Balatro for a few days and literally the only thing Steam recommended to me for over a month was just card based rogue-like games.
Also I recommend the one by RTGame. Probably my favorite streamer. He’s Irish so I never catch the streams but the YouTube videos are great.
Did you know they called him the Balatro King in the college?
not using dark mode in current year
You deserve this
Why do dark mode users don’t understand we dynamic/scheduled mode users exist 🥺
You’re using YouTube wrong. You’re supposed to set your default page to the subscriptions page.
