Youtubes recommendation & search also really suck lately :(
I don't know how they managed to fuck up their search so much. Yesterday I wanted to listen to a specific song by a specific artist and I could not even find it anymore. All I got was different songs by the same artist or similar named videos or very very unrelated songs lol -
@wojtek322 Enshittification, probably intentional.
The algo maximizes potential monetary income to Google, not user satisfaction.
Sometimes the answer is just ... savage.
This is how they prevent people from urinating in public in the Czech Republic.
Youtube is retarded (another example).
When you subscribe to a channel, Youtube will recommend to you a video from the "Members only" (paid) category every single day.
With all its profiling and algo knowledge, it still fails to realize that I won‘t join the Members only club, no matter how persistently it is trying to make me.
Even worse, I‘d rather unsubscribe from the channel to avoid the daily nagging. But that would be unfair to the channel.
So YT is effectively punishing channels by aggressively spamming their subscribers with ads for the Members only section.
They fail to realize that annoyed users will just reject their ads out of spite, even if they normally would consider buying the "product".
Youtube is retarded.
