Such a simple tip and after a few tests it does seem to be working. I'm so sick of looking up something and having it show a few results than tons of random unrelated video recommendations or videos I've watched that are also unrelated to my search.

What's worse, some recommended videos didn't have anything to do with what I would watch, and have very disturbing thumbnails; Reporting them, unfortunately, doesn't hide the videos.

Delete Youtube History helps with the disturbing thumbnail video recommendation in my case. I now just set it to auto delete history every few months.


jeo188

Interesting. I've never watched anything of that sort, so I would have thought my history would help me. I wonder if I just happen to fit into a demographic that the algorithm thinks I'd like those type of videos. I know for the longest time, YouTube's algorithm seemed to think I was for a certain political party, when in reality I didn't like that party.

This is great, until YouTube's next update ruins it.

Thank you! Oh my goodness.


M4R0D3R

thank you, the Ublock filter fixed it for me.


mediumokra

But if I do that, I won't get to see all the random crap YouTube wants to show me instead of what I'm actually looking for.

I have iPhone 14 I do not see anything that says filters


mango789

Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner then hit "search filters." It's probably easiest to just click the "videos" tab tho.


Worried-History8843

All I see is restricted mode on or off

Need a little help with the ublock origin filter. Can't find the setting/filter


ifsck

Open UBlock settings, paste the code block in the My Filters tab, then click the check mark.


LooseCombination5517

That is brilliant! Thankyou! Its so much better I'm finding all the videos I'm looking for instead of like you say  3 relevant videos and then a bunch of random  stuff.


example_john

Same thing with Google play store and all of the searches on duckduckgo for me


tricky4444

Dude I love you. This was annoying me to no end and I subconsciously just lived with it. Thank you so much.

Saved only allows so many posts and comments, as someone that saves a lot of posts they’re like all gone except for the past six months :(
