A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there’s a little something different with the look of the website.
YouTube keeps making things worse.
A few months ago they required that you have a watch history to display the homepage.
This week they’re showing up next popups even when you have autoplay turned off.
Using an Apple TV I probably watch more YouTube than any other platform and was given a gift of a premium subscription. It removed all ads, gave me YouTube music, but the shitty experiments continue and there’s no way to tell YouTube to sod off.
I’ve yet to find an alternative, but I’m looking…
I’m actually glad for this change. I hated the random junk they always suggest on my homepage. I spent ages clicking on the menu on each video and selecting “don’t recommend this channel.” It took a few years, but I actually got a clean, empty homepage. Then they changed their website and all the videos came back. I had to start over, cleaning out my feed again.
Now with this new change, my homepage is always clear. Thanks, YouTube!
For the record, I only watch my subscriptions. If I learn about a new channel, it’s through another site/person recommending it. I don’t let YouTube recommend me stuff to watch. And I definitely don’t watch YouTube Shorts or whatever they call their vertical video nonsense.
Same. I love it. I go to YouTube home page, see nothing, and then go on doing what I was going to do anyway. It is a nice update.
