The Mozilla Foundation, which makes Firefox, has done a major scrutiny of YouTube’s recommendation system. As you may know, YouTube has a recommendation system that displays recommended videos by analyzing the user’s viewing history and actions such as recommending and disliking. However, there are complaints about this recommendation system that the algorithm is opaque, inconsistent, and many unequal and unfair.

In response, YouTube asks you to control recommended videos that don’t fit your interests by deleting your search history, pausing to save your history, or deleting your play history and search history. In other words, it’s not a perfect recommendation system by itself, so if you don’t like it, delete your search history or video history on YouTube and ask you to build your taste again.
However, even after resetting it, I still recommend the same video that I hated. As a result, YouTube users even feel that YouTube recommended videos are not a taste sniping, but that I cannot control them.
The Mozilla Foundation did the research using RegretsReporter, an open source tool created to study the YouTube recommendation system. There were 567,888,195 videos analyzed in this survey. The number of users surveyed was 2758. The Mozilla Foundation conducted qualitative and quantitative research to determine the extent to which users have control over YouTube’s recommendation system.

In our survey, users wanted to change the recommended videos they see on YouTube by using the dislike button, not interested, or don’t like this channel. However, many users felt that the recommended videos did not change even after pressing the 3 dislike sets. Some users even reported the video as spam because it didn’t change even after using the 3-piece set. But the next day, the video was again shown in the recommended videos.
Some users answered in our survey that when they play a particular video, they don’t like similar videos appearing in the recommended videos, so they play the video while logged out without logging into their account, or playing the video on another PC or laptop. .
RegretsReporter asked the people who participated in the survey how much the recommended videos had changed after following the instructions in ‘Recommended videos and how to manage them’ in YouTube’s Help. said there is. Here, unsolicited videos complained that they were still recommending similar videos to the videos they previously hit dislike, not interested in, or don’t recommend the channel.

The Mozilla Foundation commented that YouTube’s recommended videos do not reflect the user’s intentions, saying that users intuitively and clearly dislike them and that they still appear as recommended videos even if they follow the YouTube recommended video management method. Pointing out this problem, YouTube publicist Elena Hernandez said that because YouTube doesn’t try to block all content, it also recommends videos that people hate.
that’s right. Strangely, YouTube doesn’t have a feature to block channels you don’t want to see. There is a function to prevent users from commenting on your videos, but there is no function to block the channel itself from appearing in search or recommended videos for videos you do not want to see. This is because YouTube’s policy is to show more videos, so it can’t be helped. YouTube also said that users’ tastes and overall users’ tastes may differ, but they recommend videos that everyone likes, even if you don’t like them.
It’s not a recommended video for taste sniping. It’s just whether you watch it or drink it.
It’s YouTube’s policy, so I’ll have to put up with it even if it’s consistently uploaded as a recommended video.
