YouTube's Custom Feeds Give You More Control Over the Algorithm

YouTube's Custom Feeds Give You More Control Over the Algorithm In YouTube's latest update, viewers can tweak what the algorithm shows on their front page and curate it to a specific vibe. My YouTube algorithm is sacred, with years of data about my preferences and viewing history fermenting into whatever videos it picks for my home screen. YouTube's algorithm, while not perfect, sure knows what I want to see. The current top three videos on my front page are an Apple Watch analysis, a season 28 update, and something called "I Lost to the Muppets" from comedian Chris Fleming . As part of its Made on YouTube event Wednesday, Google released several new features, including a Custom Feeds button for adjusting what videos pop up on your front page. It's a rare chance for users to directly tweak their algorithmic feed on YouTube, in ways that go beyond just pressing thumbs up on a video or blocking a creator.
