So where is the line drawn? What about the teens who want to lookup how to do an exercise correctly without getting injured? The people who make these videos are usually very fit (big surprise!)
I have a feeling this is going to be driven by some AI model that’s gonna do more harm than good
It’s YouTube, there is no line, just a vague squiggle that you can cross without any warning.
It’s usually that they seem to block the main channels and the small ones that don’t know what they are talking about slip through. Going to get some kids hurt doing this.
From what I understand this is just the recommended feed so it wouldn’t affect searching for specific stuff, or binging a channel’s backlog.
And frankly speaking this should be a default feature. All too often the algorithm thinks “oh you watched this one video let me drown you in that shit at the expense of everything else”.
The whole thing meshes well with what we know from child/youth psychology, btw: Agency makes all the difference, whether they’re seeking information, or are (in currentyear), doomscrolling it. One tends to involve critical engagement, the other is an osmosis sponge.
Oh. Speaking of youtube fitness channels, here’s a good one. And another one. Like, especially if you haven’t done anything in a while, just watch this.
Don’t sign in?
wake me up when they limit teenagers from fascist far right grifters
This is fucking ridiculous. I’m actually speechless.
Honestly, I just want to click on a video and not have my feed instantly become every video on that topic in existence to the exclusion of all else…meanwhile, someone I am subscribed to doesn’t show up on my front page when they put something out in a series I have watched 20 videos of…gj
The problem is youribe can only have one page of information and that has to be the front page offering old, new, expected and unexpected content in one easy to view list.
You know what would happen if they had a second list that only showed your subscribed content? Literally no one would click on it and everyone would complain it doesn’t exist, they proved this in a test where they had that exact feature on every single person’s page since they started but here we still are people complaining that their subscriptions don’t always show up on the fyp (algo page)
…“Food companies smile in glee”
Gotta make space for more nazis.
It’s funny that any time these companies are brought up everyone says they’re dangerous yet the second one listens to the sorts of studies about negative affects that get quoted here all the time everyone suddenly decides actually its censorship or brainwashing or corporate greed and that it’s evidence they’re evil…
Scientific studies said this content can harm developing children so they made efforts to mitigate harm, is it really so hard just to say ‘oh thats good, well done’ and if so then doesn’t that tell you a lot about your own motivations?
