Do you watch YouTube?

[Qapla]

Seems YT started something new that has not been widely liked. When you visit a channel and go to the "videos" section, they added a "For You" tab and made it the default tab with no way to change that option 😞  

 

There was quite a backlash on social media about it. Many users like to have the "Latest" tab as the default so they can check on new videos from favorite sites without having to subscribe or turn on notifications. This meant that, after going to the videos section, you still had to click on "Latest" to see if there were any new videos.

 

According to what I read, some people filed a complaint with YT on the contact link and had their YT returned to how it was ... no mor "For You" tab and "Latest" being the default.

 

Well, I sent in a complaint. My YT has been fixed. I can't say if YT actually got rid of the new tab and default or just restored mine since I don't have any way to check that out.

 

Just wanted to pass this along ...

Loved this video, Miss Bea. Didn't listen much to country and western before this. The lyrics adds to the charm of country and western music

I generally use YouTube watching reviews and other useful information in fixing things etc, but never have came across the "For You" section.

 

Maybe because I have my tracking options very strict and my history is generally cleared as well as my cookies.

The "For You" tab is/was on the YouTube "Videos" page of a YT channel with the "For You" tab being the default choice like in the example below

 

The "For You" tab no longer shows on mine, it has either been removed all together on all YT channels or was just fixed on mine since I complained

 

Mine now looks like it used to before they added the "For You" tab with the "Latest" tab being the default - I'm glad they removed that tab

I rarely use YouTube.  My son has a channel "Good Clean Gaming" where he had been posting videos.  He has been too busy recently to post any new videos.  He just wanted to show people that it was possible to do gaming without the violence and all that went on in some video games.

 

I have a YouTube channel but I haven't posted any videos recently.  I have also been somewhat busy.

The main purpose I use YouTube for is music. Apart from that, I sometimes specifically look for tutorials for some things. I don´t have many chanels, so I never really paid attention to this issue. What I do have are playlists I create for my music.
