Hi lemmy,
youtube served me this survey today (english translation): "Which of the following issues have you encountered on the YouTube homepage today?
*The page is confusing
*I want to remove a video, but I don't know how to do it
*I couldn't find a particular livestream
*The "Do not recommend videos from this channel" menu option does not work
*Other problem
*None of them / not sure"
Which is funny, because I noticed when I blocked a "right wing propaganda" channel the other day in the YT shorts section it just skipped the video and played another one from the same channel.
Disclaimer: All anecdotal evidence, I can't prove a thing, but even just the idea of me not being able to stop shitty recommendations pains me.
WTF Youtube. Stop that shit.
Edit: Minor Format tweak.
Removing the do not recommend channel option would be the quickest way to get me to actually just stop using YouTube. Half the people I watch are on nebula anyway and the rest of the time saved well my wife wants me to read more anyway. Ive been a paying google play music/YouTube red/premium subscriber for 10 years but that'll do it for me.
I find it strange Nebula is both the cheapest streaming sub I have as well as the one I get the most use out of. I will say I'm slowly getting tired of it though, it's getting to the point it needs a block creator button. Getting rid of clickbait was a selling point but it's starting to creep in hard, there are stupid red arrows pointing at random things and obviously poor titles all over the recent videos page. It wasn't like this a year ago.
