Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Like it's always been shit, but at least it has some resemblance to the content I watch. But now I'm getting recommendations for videos with like 60-400 views from random channels of people who forget they opened up their cameras. Or sometimes it's some old lady speaking a foreign language about who knows what. Or it's some kid recording their friends during PE class. Or it's some vlog from a guy in Idaho going camping.

It turns out, recommender systems can be tuned to maximize the user's frustration as well.
