Like, apparently, I noticed a “Trending” page on YouTube a while back but I honestly don’t know anything else I can do to help me find new stuff to watch.

Hell, even the front page doesn’t go past a certain point; it kinda used to be longer, but now they appear to have shortened it.

Honestly, the “Explore” pages are kinda useless so far.

Someone help me out here.

    Just put some stuff in the algorithm by watching YT videos and then let it do its work. It may not the best option (and not a good option at all if you don’t want your data to be stolen) but that’s how I get my recommendations.

      Wait, how do I do that?

      I don’t care about the “privacy” aspect so people can zip it.

        Just start to watch videos or youtubers that you prefer to watch, and then wait until results show up. Youtube pretty much just shows me videos relating to topics I enjoy.

          I’ve faced a similar problem with finding Spanish YouTubers. I don’t know enough to get started. I’ve got to be extra careful, because one English video and boom – it’s impossible to only get spanish recommendations. Any tips on getting started if you don’t know any? I’ve also found the explore sections and front page pretty useless.

            Actually, yeah, you don’t always know what you want or what you’re looking for.
