Comment on YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google
XTL@sopuli.xyz 8 months agoThis is the craziest thing. I make a search, I want to see search results.
“Here’s some totally unrelated videos for you!”
No! I want search results!
“Here’s the annoying ass you’ve blocked five times!”
No! Search results!
“Here’s the video you just watched!”
I did a search! I want to see search results and nothing else. The last possible thing I’d watch is what I already finished before searching for a different very specific thing.
“Here’s the worst cancer in your country for you!”
JUST GIVE ME SEARCH RESULTS!

Yes!! That’s the other thing, why is YouTube constantly recommending videos I’ve already watched? I get it all the time where videos I’ve literally watched the day before are being recommended to me. Even more so for videos I’ve watched the week prior. The other thing that’s been annoying the shit out of me is that YouTube is so desperate to send me down political rabbit holes. My political leanings must be a mystery to them since I like liberal stand up comedy, gaming, Linux, and guns, so I’m getting hit with political garbage from both sides. Can I please just have an option to tell YouTube what I want instead of it poorly guessing? Oh wait, that’s the search function, which doesn’t work
