Seriously, youtube recommendation become a trash. All it recommend me is propaganda videos even though I’m never interested in it. Gone are the golden age where youtubers don’t simp for like, share, subscribe and comment.
This happened to me a year ago I think. There was no way I was going to turn on watch history. Previously it would make recommendations based on my subscriptions, and that was fine, so why use watch history? It resulted in me almost never using YouTube, and after a few months it went back to normal. Maybe you can wait it out.
I feel like that defeats the purpose of automated recommendations, since you can still search for the videos (that you want to watch) and create playlists either way.
Since YouTube’s beginning it has made recommendations without using a watch history. For personalized recommendations, it based them on subscriptions if watch history wasn’t on.
I uninstalled Spotify after I found newpipe. I add all my fav songs in playlist and when I want to list, I hit play all and all my fav songs starts to play. Love it! Newpipe is the best
I’ve been using ViMusic for music and it’s great but I’ve downloaded my favorite songs on deezer with deemix and I’m using jellyfin to stream them lately …but I’ll check InnerTune anyway 😄
I’ve used it. Some songs refuse to play and sometimes it just stops responding to touch. I am using a custom rom, A13 so not sure if its the ROM or app. If its working fine for you then checkout musify and blackhole.
Messed around with it. If I have zero video history and turn it on it has accurate recommendations, based on videos I’ve recently watched (while watch history was disabled).
They seemed to manage just fine before the change. I had watch history off and I got fairly relevant suggestions based on the view I was currently watching along with my subscriptions.
This isn’t about suggesting videos this is about making users accept lesser levels of privacy in order to get more money from targeted advertising by withholding previously functional features.
Well I can only speak for myself, but looking through these comments there are plenty of people who see this as a positive! I just always have gone the extra step to get there even before google made the change.
