Podcast Doug and car guy Doug is way way better than used car salesman Doug.
I know this sub has cooled on him and Matt is well Matt but honestly this was one of the best car related listens for me this year.
I also love it when throttle house goes on smoking tire podcast.
Not true at all. And I‘m not talking about my personal feed I‘m talking about the fact that a billion dollar corporation is able to pretend this garbage algorithm is the best they can do.
And even if the average user does click on that content, how braindead do you have to be to recommend top 10 compilations over channels which put a serious budget into original content specifically for your company, don‘t make me laugh.
It sais the algorithm is pushing: „Relevance, Engagement, Quality“
And what relevance is, that‘s entirely up for Youtube to interpret.
Now if you‘re able to login to a computer with no search history and straight face tell me the stuff on the trending pages is relevant when that‘s supposedly their number 1 criteria then you‘re either completely out of your mind or you‘re getting a feed that‘s entirely different from the one they push in Germany.
it’s anecdotal for sure, but my homepage is entirely videos I might genuinely watch. 0 Drama, 0 listicles, 0 bullshit.
If you don’t have any watch history, yeah it’ll be lowest common denomenator crap because they don’t know what you’ll engage with.
It’s not about “the average user” it’s about you specifically - given we’re talking about specific audiences getting or not getting served content from that channel.
