What bothers me most about the recommendations I get are the videos I have clearly watched. "You recently watched this clip, so we at YouTube think you should watch it again."
- mcv 4y agoI have the same thing. For some it actually makes sense, like listening to a good song twice. But for many others it really doesn't. I'd kinda expect Youtube to be able to tell the difference between a song and some temporarily relevant vlog.
- kilroy123 4y agoYes, so irritating. I don't understand why they do this.
- fs111 4y ago"deep learning"
- bambax 4y agoThis is like Amazon recommending the exact same item you just bought, sometimes from a different brand or vendor. "We see you bought a toaster, surely you need a hundred more."
- sandworm101 4y agoMabey they know that the first one you bought is scheduled to stop working soon.
- netsharc 4y agoMaybe they just want you to be unhappy (as the paradox of choice says, if you only had a few options for a product, you'd pick what you think is the best one and be happy with it; if you had hundreds, you can't compare all, so you'd pick one and wonder if it was the best choice). Maybe Amazon knows that unsatisfied customers continue spending money... Hah, great dark pattern if so!
- groffee 4y agoFor music videos that makes sense, but not so much for other content.
- wasmitnetzen 4y agoI do rewatch some of my history every now and then, mostly music and comedy clips. But it seems like YouTube doesn't understand that this works for some content, but not for all.
- the_only_law 4y agoThis is Spotify and music recommendations for me.
- Ensorceled 4y agoI gave up on Spotify because Spotify, unlike me, was stuck in the 70's and 80's...
