Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
(lemmy.world)
According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
That's the thing, I personally liked the YouTube homepage! Even with watch history disabled, I found it gave me decent mix of recommendations based on my region, subscriptions and Liked videos. I know many people dislike the YouTube algorithm but it actually worked well for me.
Now that YouTube has disabled my homepage (held hostage unless I turn on Watch History), I am far less inclined to go on YouTube and watch random videos. Which is probably a good thing for me, let's be honest. On the other hand I don't know what YouTube wanted to achieve with this move. I find it hilarious that my homepage is empty now by Google's own choice.
And you know what? The channels today are super sensational when it comes to their titles and thumbnails like it's always about a curiosity gap or some extreme headline that makes you annoyed and I'm honestly over it. It's just so hard to find good channels that are genuinely entertaining and don't employ any of these. Honestly I'd go back to 2013 YouTube, it was far better
