YouTube comment sections are weirdly positive always. It could be a video of some horrible crime and the comments will be about how great the channel is and encouraging the channel to keep making more videos. When j visit actual fan pages anywhere else online there are always a mix of opinions. But youtube is constantly full of obsequious people
When I still used YouTube it recommended me crap I could hardly have cared less about or even things I actually disliked.
To me, Youtube was always synonymous for faulty algorithms.
YouTube recommendations are emblematic of a greater trend I’ve noticed in tech where instead of catering content towards us, we’re starting to be catered towards the content they want to show us. Managing your own subscriptions and keeping the things you don’t want out of your feed just keeps getting harder.
Makes sense. Best way to push even more product placements on us.
The YouTube music algorithm is a pile of shit. It always wants to lead you to more well known stuff. It’s like you are only ever as few related tracks away from top 50 pop.
