YouTube Lets Users Override Recommendations After Criticism
YouTube said it will let users override automated recommendations after criticism over how the online video service suggests and filters toxic clips. From a report: "Although we try our best to suggest videos you'll enjoy, we don't always get it right, so we are giving you more controls for when we don't," Essam El-Dardiry, a product manager at YouTube, wrote in a blog on Wednesday. Users will now be able to tell YouTube to stop suggesting videos from a particular channel by tapping the three-dot menu next to a video on the homepage or Up Next, then choosing "Don't recommend channel." After that, viewers should no longer see videos from that channel, El-Dardiry said. The move comes after Susan Wojcicki and other YouTube executives were criticized for being either unable or unwilling to act on internal warnings about extreme and misleading videos because they were too focused on increasing viewing time and other measures of engagement.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
