Have You Noticed the YouTube Algorithm “Forgets” Your Long-Term Preferences? I’ve been noticing lately that the YouTube algorithm doesn’t seem to prioritize long-term viewing habits like it used to. A year or two ago, my recommendations felt spot-on, consistently aligning with the kind of content I’ve enjoyed over time. But now, if I take a break for even a day or two, my homepage is filled with generic or unrelated videos. It seems like the algorithm shifts heavily based on my most recent activity. For example, if I watch a couple of random videos out of curiosity, my entire... 2 0 replies

Has anyone else the problem, that all videos somehow freeze at 1 minute? I've tried both Firefox and chromium, but I just cannot get past one minute rn. Whenever I want to watch a video, the video will play just like normal for roughly a minute (58-60s) and then just stop and load - forever. I tried Firefox and chromium - both with uBlock origin enabled and disabled. My internet speed shouldn't be the cause, since I have 400Mbit/s I cleared the cache multiple times. I restarted my PC multiple times. Ads in front of the video load just fine - who would have thought... 1 0 replies

New video scrolling feature. I recently discovered that on YouTube moblie, videos have gotten the shorts feature of scrolling up and down for videos when in full screen. This really annoys me when i pull down the top of the screen to check something and accidentally scroll back to the previous video i watched.

Even tho my finger is on the other side of... 4 0 replies

All videos of all channels say ‘something went wrong’ So, it started this morning. For reference, I’m using YouTube on my iPhone. It says the same thing with everything I click on, and I’ve tried different accounts. I’ve tried deleting accounts and the app, and to the same result. I’ve tried connecting, disconnecting, and resetting my WiFi and internet settings. It hasn’t gone away, and it’s been several hours. I also don’t have any restrictions on so it’s not blocked or restricted. I honestly don’t know what’s going on, or if it’s a ban maybe? 4 0 replies
