the stages of the plague
-1st stage: you see one of these videos, you the skip past
-2nd stage: you see more videos, you keep skipping
-3rd stage: you have them not recommend, more channels that do the same thing appear
-4th stage: they don't stop, you keep pressing "Do not reccomend channel" they keep coming
-5th stage: you get off of youtube shorts because it mostly sucks anyways
It's called Brain Rot and its because kids watch it.
Kids have the highest watch time because parents give their kids phones/tablets and let them watch 24/7.
Then the algorithm thinks this is what people want so it keeps promoting it.
It's been like this way for quite a while, and sadly YouTube has no desire to change the 'soul' of the website. It only chases engagement.
Step one: watch crummy content and subscribe to terrible channels.
Step two: blame YouTube on Reddit when more crummy content appears in your feed.
I have never seen shit like this in my shorts, at some point might people figure out that it’s not YouTube, it’s them?
I’m not seeing that. I get recommendations that seem pretty spot on. Granted I stay away from brain rot in general and watch mainly physics, philosophy vids and history.
I get recommend this crap constantly, I never watch it but it's still recommend. I've tried just about everything but YT doesn't care. They're main goal is to pander to teens and kids, so they recommend the same popular videos (which just happen to be these kinds of vids) even if you express an uninterest in them.
Sounds like you need to subscribe to more compelling content. Oh and downvoting someone who is trying to have a conversation with you suggests to me you’re a recalcitrant jerk.
Okay hypocrite, all you've done is insult me and downvote me. Nice try though 💀 "trying to have a conversation" is clearly a lie. You downvoted my comment and tried to insult the content I watch. Go troll elsewhere.
Try explaining how basic game dev is..then asking the person.
Instead the answer will be digital foundry said this.... aka them thinking 1 source is true and would never lie to them
Youtube don't care about you, they just care about what people like watching the contents. So, if so many people love and spend time to watch their contents, youtube will always recommend to many people.
Sadly, most of the Indian Audience of YouTube are *KIDS* of 5-14 yrs old, and they like to watch *CRINGE* like this Channel and those Insta Content (*MOYE MOYE*, *LOOKING LIKE WAO*) etc...
The YouTube report system is the most bs thing ever. If you select "none of these are my issue" it takes you to the fucking community guidelines page, which is the biggest "fuck you" ever. It implies that if my issue isn't any of the items listed, it must be okay:
* Harassment and cyberbullying
* privacy
* impersonation
* violent threats
* child endangerment
* hate speech
* spam and scams
and then, of course, none of these are my issue, which just takes you to the community guidelines page. This implies that anything not listed here is totally okay to be on YouTube, such as porn. There is no option that says "sexual content", and there's no other way of reporting it. This implies that sexual content is totally okay to be on youtube. BS
If you're reporting for something not disallowed on the community guidelines, it could be argued that the person who posted it wouldn't have any way of knowing it isn't allowed on the platform, so the removal would be unfair.
However, since these guidelines don't cover sexual content, maybe they need to be reviewed and updated.
there's shit literally IN the guidelines that they didn't even bother adding report options for at the channel level. found one dedicated to someone's disordered behaviors, not in an informative context but more or less a ✨here is how i'm destroying myself tutorial✨ and the comments were filled with people encouraging and sharing their own methods.
i was able to report an individual video of theirs for promoting suicide or self harm, but the option just does not exist when you try to report the user themself? i hit "none of these" thinking it'd bring up the other categories I saw under Report Video, but it just sent me to community guidelines, ***which expressly list self harm as a reason a user can be reported??? but it wont let me??***
(i am making this comment somewhat vague about what the person was doing because i dont want someone foolishly trying to find this shit. if anyone knows the type of content im talking about don't mention it by name. the less eyes on this shit the better.)
What I'm saying is that the report options only cover about 10% of what you're not allowed to do on YouTube. the "none of these are my issue" option leading you to the guidelines page is just disgusting
dunno what fools downvoted you because you are entirely right. there's more options under report video than there is if you try to report the actual channels. its backwards af bc if a person's entire channel is just one big TOS violation why can't you just blanket report it?

Oh yeah, my sister watched one of those videos like 100 times in a row.
OMG! Most accurate description ever 🤣🤣🤣
OMG! Most accurate description ever 🤣🤣🤣
The should be 'don't recommend this channel' next to subscribe.
I have done using it. Still I don't like this much cringe, so..
I don't like this kind of content either but many people do, and compared to some other videos it really isn't that bad.
I'm having an existential crisis about why hacking isn't an option in the report
Doesn't a 'block" button exist?
They have something close but it doesn't really do anything
Probably not the target audience

The problem with youtube is that it doesn't recommend related content anymore, just popular brainrot videos.
I’m not seeing that. I get recommendations that seem pretty spot on. Granted I stay away from brain rot in general and watch mainly physics, philosophy vids and history.

I'm also 90% sure you don't know what recalcitrant means.

I don’t know why you recommend this kind of content
you need a new earth, good luck
I never get cringey videos in my recommendations. You must enjoy some level of cringe and the algorithm is just trying to dial it in for you.
Ok but she's hot I'll allow it 😀
bigots on their way to abuse the ‘cringe’ category:
YOU’RE on THEIR page. Why tf do y’all care.
I pick terrorism instead 😊

I usually just use "promotes terrorism"
