    Seems great for giving more options for people who want this. I know a few neurodiverse people who would love something like this.

    Just because it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it’s bad.

    But why tho? To know your favorite color now?

      My guess is search for toddlers, whose parents handed them a phone to keep busy while they rest or do something else. They’re the only demographic that does not know how to spell, or knows too few words to search effectively. But considering the American education system this could also apply to students who are illiterate despite completing the grade every year.

    So this is the pattern of the typical youtube consumer, mindless browsing?

    This would’ve been a great idea as a comedy sketch

    I just want the videos i’ve subscribed for to actually show up in my sub feed. That’s really it, man.

    People are Google are being paid upwards of 200-300k a year to do this. It’s a prime example of doing something just to fulfill your quote on the kanban board

      Your sub feed?

      The Home tab is where they seem to mix videos from subscribed and recommended creators. I highly suspect payments influence the frequency of subscribed recommendations on the homepage. (Subscribed) Colbert used to show on Home, then NEVER EVER did again for YEARS until a few weeks ago. Now he gets top placement, several days in a row.

      You see random videos on the subscription tab? (Admittedly I don’t use it.)

        I don’t really want recommendations for anything. I just want my subscribed channels to appear in my subscriptions page. More than half of the videos from these channels are missing, because the algorithm decided they’re not what I want to see. If a channel I’m subbed to posts something, I want to see it in this list. No exceptions

    I see a lot of people complaini gbhere, and, admitting that most of you might have Androi based phones, I’d urge you to install Youtube Revanced, they have a Github : github.com/NoName-exe/revanced-extended

    I found myself frantically tapping on the x on your screenshot before I remembered I was on lemmy… I am still too angry at youtube (and myself) for the time I have wasted on shorts to try out anything new it suggests. Plus it tries to recommend right wing crackpot youtubers to me everybso often which is really annoying. /rant

    A coordinated effort to stop visiting them until certain features are included, or certain changes made would be glorious, however I just don’t see it happening

    There’s a lot of basic config/features YT needs. I’m a paying customer also. (YT premium family)

    Like as a simple example. I don’t want to watch shorts. I can X the shorts bar away for 30 days at a time but it just comes back. Why can’t I disable shorts in settings permanently? (I mean I know why)

    I want to sort channel videos by date, oldest to newest because the content I watch is longer form and generally follows a timeline of events that I want to watch in order.

    1. that is all but impossible without manually creating playlists and adding videos in the order you want (a real pita)

    2. I cannot easily get back to watch the next video in that series. Doing the above helps, but there’s no pick up where you left off. There’s some BS continue the video you were in the middle of featuring paywalled in premium that I find mildly helpful but most times if I bail on a video I’m done with it I don’t want a reminder/easy continue tile for it.

    There’s lots more around detailed searching…

      There’s extension for that.

      • dmtalon@infosec.pub ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Right, and I have grayjay for my phone but the majority of watching is on Nvidia Shield. I realize there’s smarttube and others that can do things. My point is I shouldn’t have to jump through hoops.

    Ok, you know what, maybe those YouTube layoffs were actually warranted…

    source
  • doctorcrimson@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    YouTube actually doesn’t suggest me content at all, anymore. It’s telling me watch history is disabled and I have to turn it back on in order to get recommendations. I used to fix this problem with the uBlock Origin’s Purge Cache button, but now that’s gone too and the new method to do it doesn’t seem to work.

    So now whenever I go to YT I type in names of a couple creators I follow to see if they’ve uploaded, and leave the platform afterwards.

      Just set your favorite to be the subscription menu instead of the home page.

      • NostraDavid@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’ve set Revanced to start on Subscriptions, instead of Home, so I’m not mentally spammed with whichever bullshit is “du jour”. I also disabled shorts, because it was too easy to lose an hours of 2 to that mental cancer (even if some shorts were great).

        Disable shorts via You (lower right) > Cog (upper right) > Revanced (pretty low) > Shorts components (at the bottom) > Hide Shorts in feed (first option).

    I don’t mind them providing it as a feature because maybe someone has a use case here but I have a problem with them promoting it. Such a niche idea.

    source
    • Zorque@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      "I hate when services actually tell people about new features they're offering"

      Pushing people to use it (no I'm not going to buy youtube TV or whatever its called, stop asking youtube) is one thing, but simply proffered the option is relatively benign.

      source
      • OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        They’re pushing it to everyone’s feed, it’s basically advertising. They could “tell people about new features” via press release they don’t need to do this.

    If YT wants to do aesthetic stuff, why not bring back custom channel backgrounds? Or better yet, add more site-wide themes like dark mode.
