a while back i watched a bunch of videos from a hearthstone streamer and for the next month youtube would recommend me his videos exclusively. it was like twilight zone in there. i liked his videos so i didnt want to click "dont recommend" but i didnt like em THAT much
@.:A-MAN:. Yeah, I don't really use Facebook so no idea what it's like. Honestly video websites like YouTube could pull this off better than anyone else. Movies + clips take up a huge chunk of what people talk about, along with hobbies being mixed in. Issues come up when people use it for just how to videos or something.
The other barrier I can think of is that it's pretty creepy. Everything Facebook related has been feeling almost universally creepy imo, and people actually using Facebook might be more willing to use their dating services than YT, esp since it's actually relevant in their goals of connecting people.
@X27 Hmmm you might be right, I vaguely recall something like that. Though FB has always been much worse about recommending things I actually care about so I wouldn't imagine they'd do a great job with their algorithm.
@Dill pickle click on one video and your recommendation list is destroyed. I've needed to use the "Not interested" + "Don't recommend channel" buttons way too many times
@Dill pickle idk it works pretty dang well for me. Did you make sure to click "don't recommend" for those? The few times I've seen things like that I just make sure to click it and problem solved.
youtube algo is garbage doe. it'll keep recommending me neo-nazis and people i spoke to briefly once and decided i wasnt going to talk to them ever again
