Did work in my end, have to nuke it for a few times for the algorithm to adjust.
Algorithm will shower you with crap whatever you do
Yup, ‘Don’t recommend channel’ every time! Just like businesses around town with AI logos, you can count me out.
those button’s are like the pedestrian push buttons, they are there to give you a fake sense of agency
Why would you expected youtube to rule in on AI content where they are one the major factories for ai video content
OK, but the pedestrian buttons generally DO have a function.
There are lots of intersections (in Canada at least) where pushing the button is the only way to make the lights change.
And I know it works because there have been multiple cases in the past where I forget to push it, and I end up standing there for a long time, like an idiot.
It’s not just a placebo, and it’s weird to imagine that cities would spend all that money on more infrastructure only for the buttons to… do nothing?
Buttons aren’t free.
i hate that so much posters, thumbnails, etc i am seeing recently suck so hard. ai thumbnails being just one part of how we just hate the art of communicating through design anymore. cram information!!! just slap random things together!!! thats the way. i love good poster/thumbnail that i can save, print, hang, or just admire. some people took the wrong lesson from ‘dont judge a book by its cover’
I think it’s funny when people show the suggested ai thumbnails in a community post or whatever making fun of it
Matt lowne did it a bit ago and it’s kinda hilarious how awful the suggested thumbnails are https://youtube.com/post/UgkxMgmzHZ4AMnR4CShol15LcikhaKsxXvl6
Basks in the glory of Freetube and DeArrow
I can block channels and never see them again with Freetube. DeArrow means no stupid thumbnails.
i have to disagree with the dearrow part. i find the idea really awful bc of two reasons:
- it revokes my ability to be like ‘oh thats a horrible thumbnail/ai generated thumbnail/clickbait i should block this channel’
- anyone who puts effort to make great thumbnails has their art replaced by screenshot or random person making their own
what this 2 things mean is that those who intentionally make bad stuff are rewarded by making their thumbnails not appear horrible for me to block. while punishing those who respect the art by removing their efforts.
bless that this button exists. it’s my only defense against clickbait and slop
I suggest the BlockTube extension, which lets you block channels permanently.
I just report them for offensive imagery
Too bad those buttons do literally nothing. I stopped using youtube ages ago and just have a few channels I know to be good that I sub to via Freetube and watch on that.
I can’t do that as I use dearrow…
