I've been looking to find the answer for days on multiple platforms. I looked for it on blind and didn't see anyone discussed it yet, so... Does anyone here use YouTube shorts regularly? I love shorts video format as a source of quick dopamine & I don't want to install another app (TikTok) only for that purpose. That's why I really enjoy reels & yt shorts since I mainly use those apps. But these few days boy has it been really weird. I always use shorts to see meme videos & the recommendation algorithm did a good job. I could scroll for 30 minutes full of meme videos and i love it. But lately the meme video were only the first two videos and the rest were an absolute mess. It is filled with weird videos such as: Indian/Pakistan related, trans & racial issues, proud overweight woman, skit videos of kids, stupid commentary, animal cruelty (hunting videos), stupid 'dont like this video' content, Israel/Palestine related. I have spent my time disliking every single one of those videos and it didn't do any good. People on the shorts comment section are sharing the same concern as well of how awful the algorithm is. I just wanna know what the hell happened there? Does anyone have the same experience?
Experiencing the same thing!
I agree entirely, sudden boost of shit content
I thought I was the only to observe this. Seems like they promoted a weird ml model to baseline.
Inverted a negative sign…
