I'm am so strict about what I watch on my yt account. Anything that is just a one off for curiosity or that I think will destroy my front page gets opened in a private browser or 3rd party app.

Fwiw, you can delete videos from your viewing history to theoretically fix it.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah i do this. I browse front page for any recommendation and if it's a shitty clickbait or something from a search or lemmy that i don't wanna get flooded with, i delete that video. Then it won't recommend you that sort of video.

You gotta control the algorithm and make it works for you.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

This! You can curate the algorithm to work for you!

You're using YouTube wrong. You're supposed to set your default page to the subscriptions page.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ha! I made this mistake when looking for a morning joe video to use to make fun of my hardcore right wing friend. Now all I see is those shit heads on my algo.

YT assumes you're always binge-watching. Which people often are apparently.

Just use your subscription tab, like we did in the olden days.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

At least those are videos of a real videogame.

I find it incredibly insulting how my algorithm is always giving me ads and thinly veiled ads for predatory casinos wearing the mutilated echos of popcap games (pre EA). It equally insults my intelligence and the artistry that actually earns the prestige of successful, critically acclaimed games, and it is a disgusting, pathetic way to earn a living.

I got way better due to them tho 😅

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.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Did you know they called him the Balatro King in the college?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

not using dark mode in current year

You deserve this

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Why do dark mode users don't understand we dynamic/scheduled mode users exist 🥺

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Say his name and he appears! I believe in ~~Joe Hendry~~ Balatro!

I don't know who this Baletro guy is, but daaaaaaamn. He owns your youtube.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

It's John Balatro, he play his card well.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

So...am I the only one who only uses the "Subscriptions" section? It has been years since I went the YouTube homepage.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's coming it's real

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.
