Instead of browsing the algorithm I start on the subscriptions page, to only see uploads from people I actually want to. There's sometimes complaints about "I thought you were dead" when the channel has been uploading regularly the entire time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC the dev didn't update the extension for firefox for a long time due to some policies mozilla have with extensions, and IIRC it has been stuck at 2.5 something whereas the chromium version gotten the 3.0.

Every once in a while, if you have the “notifications” on for a creator it’ll just randomly turn it off. I have a creator that I pay $1/mth subscription to, which you would think YouTube would take as a suggestion that I like that channel and show me when they upload something new. Nope! Instead the algorithm thinks I want to watch a fucking Neo Nazi musician. permalink fedilink source parent [–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 months ago Since Tom Scott is coming back soon, that's a clear yes. permalink fedilink source parent
