1 min read
Summary
YouTubes’ algorithm directs user preferences through videos they view, like or subscribe to, among others.
However, users may come across videos that divert their recommendations and want to rectify this.
Here are some tips to improve your YouTube recommendations:
Edit your likes - over time, our interests change and it is imperative that YouTube gets informed of these changes, since it is likely to basis its recommendations on your historical likes;
remove videos from your watch history - occasionally, you might want to view a video without letting YouTube know, and this can be achieved by removing it from your history;
mark videos as not interested or do not recommend - telling YouTube the types of content or specific channels to avoid;
pause your watch history - pausing your watch history prevents YouTube from saving what you watch;
use incognito mode - for a short break, incognito mode lets you watch videos without them being added to your history;
delete your YouTube history and start over - when there is too much history to delete, users can delete everything and begin again;
