Not necessarily. There's actually good videos out there that I'm never gonna watch cause they have terrible clickbait thumbnails and like hell I'm gonna click that.

Also on the list of dumb things people should stop doing: Putting their video titles IN ALL CAPS.

MINECRAFT PART FIVE: WHAT'S THAT????????? and then the thumbnail is a super close up of their minecraft character's head with question marks over it.

All Caps always makes me think that the video is yelling at me. It's a bit obnoxious.

[Daikatuna]

WHAT ARE WE YELLING ABOUT?!

the problem with the clickbait thumbnails and titles is that they work. Better youtubers try to minimize how misleading they are and not make the thumbs *too* obnoxious, but it still makes a huge difference to views

Curse our stupid monkey brains

[Daikatuna]

[West Filly]

Millennials murdered the games industry

[Gloomy Rube]

I'm not watching this, but I feel like there's a 99% chance plus or minus 1% that they completely missed all the themes of the game in question

Why? Why does youtube think I like that stuff?
It's not the first time the recommendations glitch out and give me random videos that do not relate with anything I usually watch.

I've just had flashbacks to the long stream of strange indian nursery rhymes.

I've gotten a recommendation for the duck one before! Ever since I clicked "Not Interested" I haven't gotten that since.

However, I have got weird recommendations for "Peppa Pig" related videos/24-hour livestreams for no particular reason. Maybe because I've watched animation-related reviews, but even then, it would take quite a stretch to go from that to Peppa unless I watched a review of "Peppa Pig" (which I have not).

To be honest, I barely know what Peppa Pig is to begin with.

HELP! IT GETS WORSE!

I tried but this doesn't always work. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it recommends even worse things.

Mhmm. I'm all too familiar with this as well. Sometimes it works, but when it doesn't, it just gets more annoying.

Those bot-made children's videos that take advantage of Youtube's algorithms are super creepy.

Yea verily

[Cthulhu Inc]

I once got a recommendation for 'Rhodesians Never Die'

Must be pretty crowded!

[Gloomy Rube]

The new version of youtube they're slowly rolling out ignores me ad-blocking all their recommendations.

So I'm probably gonna have things to post here again soon

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

i've learned that serbian youtube resembles regular youtube in the clickbait thumbnail aesthetics department

[Bigdog]

serbs have their own youtube knockoff?

i knew china did but that's a special case

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

nah, silly it's youtube for this region, every region has it's own youtube section

you used to be able switch before but i can't find that anymore, i had it on "international" which was just regular shit youtube

[Bigdog]

oh, I guess it was the implicit distinction compared to "regular youtube" that made me think you were talking about a knockoff and not just serbian-localized youtube

[Bigdog]

like I don't think in terms of "regular anime" and "english-localized anime"

[Bigdog]

maybe i should??

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

i speak two languages fluently and use both constantly, eventually the wires get crossed and weird words come out

[Octavia]

I assume Serbian YouTube is entirely Novak Djokovic highlights.

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

one of the recommendations i've seen on that part of youtube was "can a wet blanket stop a bullet"

[Fizzbuzz]

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who turns YouTube viewing history (and thus recommendations based on it) off.

[Gloomy Rube]

well, can it?

Nobody knows, because it refuses to volunteer for the experiment.
