The Youtube Algorithm

What is this?

TYA (The Youtube Algorithm) is legit one of the worst things i've ever seen and heard of in my entire fucking life. All it recommends is just pure shit. Someone makes a video that took hours to make, yet they'd make about 1-10k views, and some slop about some fucking 6 year old just smiling with a emoji covering their fucking face makes about 600k views! 6 fucking hundred thousand. They are not even old enough to use YouTube! What the hell man.

Perfect way to describe why the TYA sucks:

"I never can find anything new I’m interested in anymore, it’s like I’m being fed only things related to what I just immediately watched yesterday. Or these weird 200 view videos that aren’t related to anything at all I’ve ever watched. They’re also ALL very very short. I used to be able to find more long form video content so easy through the algorithm but now it feels like a lot of it disappeared. I feel like I’m being fed the same crap over and over and it sucks. I’d love to find new interesting channels but I feel like I’m locked in a cage dictated by my previous interests. I find myself refreshing 3-4x and still finding nothing." -SpiteAdministrative5 on Reddit
