for about a year, the 3rd video in my sidebar recommendation list is a video that is related to the topic, but generally only has <100 views. most of the time unter 20 views.
And it’s always the 3rd video
longer than a year in my case.
and yes it’s always the 3rd video
I was just about to comment about the 3rd video thing. It’s always in that same spot. Although for me sometimes it isn’t even related to the current video it’s (seemingly) random.
I’ve had this, too. Sometimes the videos are quite cool, but most of the time they’re irrelevant or poorly made
I got suggested a YouTube channel that uploads exclusively clips from Wii golf shots with like 10 subscribers .
Sounds kinda dope, ngl.
With just a little … chill commentary … on the shot here

Yes but I do think that’s good because it gives those YouTubers more of a chance to be seen
But it’s often garbage that wasn’t even meant for the general public to find.
YouTube doesn’t know that though. Nothing I’ve seen come up appears to have been not intended for viewing.
Yeah they definitely changed something. I’ve been getting those a lot over the past week or so.
Yes, definitely I’ve noticed that. When they’re good, I really appreciate it. It lets me discover people I wouldn’t have heard of. Sometimes they’re just weird nonsense though, or just straight up bad.
I like car builds, diablo and comedy. I get very few of that. It’s mostly click bait stuff.
You won’t believe what I just filmed! DIABLO BUILDS A CAR WHILE JOKING!
I’ve not had this particular issue. What frustrates me is that autoplay seems to play videos from only one channel. I like the channel, but even if it’s not related to the last video that ended it’ll still auto play that channel.
The channel is No Rolls Barred which is a board game channel. I’ll be watching a science related video and boom, board games. It’s annoying.
Mine does the same thing with Adam savages content. Literally half of my front page is his stuff and I’ve already watched most of it. For some reason yt is determined to suggest I rewatch all of his videos multiple times despite the fact that I follow quite a lot of varied creators.
When I go without watching him for a while it stops, but if I watch a single video it becomes rampant again.
Yeah, it gets weird ngl.
Yep! Been seeing a lot of channels with less than 1000 subscribers.

Yes and it feels subjectively to be connected to generally more rigours testing / recommendations specifically in the way that nowadays YouTube is much faster to get me recommended channels that are a little further away but still close to the stuff I’m already watching.
Unfortunately that’s true if I watch good video essays or effin vtuber clips so…
Finally someone else noticed. I thought I was going crazy
Got fed up with youtube algorithm shenanigans among other things and am just sticking to newpipe.
Wow that totally should have been called NewTube
Per-feed RSS is another option. The URL is hidden but it exists.
I’m very new to using rss. Recently I have come across people mentioning about adding rss feeds of youtube channels to rss readers. I’m curious to know how to get the URL of youtube channel rss so I could add it to my reader (I hope I am wording it correctly). I am using feeder app.
There are guides on this, just search for them. Quick version: on a Youtube video do
ctrl+Uto see the page source, then search for"UC. This is the channel ID. Then the URL is in the formathttps://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC5UAwBUum7CPN5buc-_N1Fw
Yes, and I usually click out of curiosity further reinforcing the algorithm.
I make a point to downvote if it is bad.
Yeah, and I found a channel called the Bread Circus a while back as a result. Really great Star Wars lore stuff for those interested: https://youtube.com/@thebreadcircus?si=fc2KNTkKh5oNNEVz
