I tried this... bunch of stuff kept getting repeated like I was the most hyperfocused person on earth, so I go into the history and remove a bunch of content related to it. Surely that's driving the recommendations, right?
Well, the instant result is that it just recommended me back everything I'd deleted. Slow clap IRL
And, in a truly shocking development, it turns out the UX for trying to manipulate your history and recs is dogshit
Isn’t there a Not interested option in the context menus for all videos? Have you tried that since it seems to be the intended way to tune recommendations? As opposed tontrying to manipulate the view history.
Sure. Sometimes it even works, but it's awkward and slow and tends to just recommend them again later anyway. That view history thing is supposedly the thing to try next.
