These are all products that I legitimately like and want to engage with, but linking them all to a single account and more importantly a shared recommendation engine feels very flawed.
My music playlists from Youtube Music keep showing up on my Youtube homepage. Likewise, engaging with Youtube Shorts (especially subscribing) also subscribes to their youtube channel. I don’t know about anyone else, but what I find interesting in a 30 second video is not what I find interesting in a 10-30 minute video.
I feel like Google would be better served separating these recommendation engines. Even looking at this from a monetization lens, it feels inefficient. How do you guys feel? If you have any hacks or recommendations I’d love to hear them. I’m personally ready to create a TikTok account just to avoid contaminating my youtube feed.
I just started using ublock and didn’t know it could that. How did you set that up?
Right click on what you want to no longer see, click “Block element.” You can click again to change the target until it covers what you’re looking for. It can be a game of Whac-a-Mole … I usually have to do it again every week or so. Those more adept at crafting filters than I am probably have it solved.
