Color is so stupid. Who the fuck cares what color the video is. Couldve used this to actual good like pick three minor subjects from the video and ask me if im interested in more of those. That would be awesome. And I know they have that data.
Even easier, pick video lengths.
<1min, 1-10min, 10-30min, 30-60min, 60min+.
I’d use that all the time.
They used to have that as a filter. Although for a long while you could pick short (<4 mins) or long (>20 mins) but not medium length videos.
This, too, was a sign they had no fucking idea what they were doing.
So, instead of getting the ability to search for videos properly, with negative search terms, user defined video length spans, exact dates, sort by reverse date order etc… we get ambient mode and color search? Can someone please, for the sake of humanity and my sanity, erase this company and its parent from the planet.
Yes it’s super weird that porn sites had that functionality for over a decade and one of the world’s largest tech companies still can’t implement those.
There are millions of youtube videos uploaded every single day. Why do I always get the exact same stuff in my recommendations? And why does YouTube shorts keep playing the same clips over and over again? Even the ones I disliked.
You should never dislike on YouTube. They just view it as engagement and will give it you more. To actually get rid of content that you don’t like, you need to use “not interested” in the context menu.
This drove me crazy for a long time.
With all the absurd turns YouTube and Google have taken, I’ve been looking at this for five minutes trying to figure out if this is a shitpost
Nope, I’ve seen it myself. Cannot imagine a more useless feature.
Can I get a feed that’s not insisting that I watch the same small selection of garbage for months? Thanks.
The “not interested” button is your hero. Really, just hit “not interested” on a few of the offending genre and it should get right out of there.
If you also remove them from your history - even better
Sounds like a new and inventive way for them to push sponsored content on you but make it seem like you had some choice in the matter
You’ve searched for Red! Here are some funny, relaxing and interesting videos from Coca-Cola, Adobe and Target!
Never even looked at the home tab before, when I go there it just says watch history is off lol
I just used it and I thought it was kind of cute. It’s obviously “useless”, but as a small (I assume temporary) change I thought it was interesting to see how different “genres” of videos tend to color code themselves in the thumbnail.
I’m all for small, fun little things in websites. Like anytime google has an interactive daily theme
This is just farts and whistles, though
Fair, but so are most of the little interactive google things. I still like them.
