![[Rumor] Youtube is A/B testing disabling "Do not recommend this channel" on me](https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/67c9701b-a608-4e4e-8a30-d6f383313565.png){kind=link}
Hi lemmy,
youtube served me this survey today (english translation): "Which of the following issues have you encountered on the YouTube homepage today?
*The page is confusing
*I want to remove a video, but I don’t know how to do it
*I couldn’t find a particular livestream
*The “Do not recommend videos from this channel” menu option does not work
*Other problem
*None of them / not sure"
Which is funny, because I noticed when I blocked a “right wing propaganda” channel the other day in the YT shorts section it just skipped the video and played another one from the same channel.
Disclaimer: All anecdotal evidence, I can’t prove a thing, but even just the idea of me not being able to stop shitty recommendations pains me.
WTF Youtube. Stop that shit.
Edit: Minor Format tweak.
I find the fourth option somewhat amusing, as if they know the feature doesn’t work (I don’t think I’ve had to use it so I have no experience)
I’ve had to use it a lot
Often times on the same channels
