Youtube Startup Video Suggestions

Post by Ernie »

When I go to Youtube, it has all sorts of videos to recommend for me. How can I set Youtube to only show videos from my playlists?

I don’t really have an answer or know if there is one, but I’m pretty sure YouTube won’t make it easy for you. The entire business plan is based on getting you sucked into more videos. And they have their algorithms fine tuned to lead you down the paths of extremism.

Instead of going to youtube.com, go to youtube.com/feed/library. You can bookmark that page and then just use the bookmark.

I have the option of downloading the YouTube app. Is that something I want to do or not want to do?

I don’t think it is helpful to have it on your phone or iPad.

I never did.

Basically, from my experience, when I open YouTube on my tablet, it will have the latest videos from the channels I'm subscribed to, plus whatever may be related to those videos. If I don't watch a certain channel for a while, it sort of falls away.

Ok. The App option popped up on my PC so I wasn't sure if that is something that would be helpful or not on my PC.
