When we talk about the streaming video portal owned by Google, YouTube, we are actually referring to one of the most visited websites on the Internet. Aware of its importance, the search giant does not stop adding new features and tools to improve our experience here.
We use YouTube both from our desktop computers and from our mobile phones, many of us almost constantly. And here we find content of all kinds, both for professional uses and those related to leisure. By default and from the player itself we can add subtitles automatically, modify the playback speed, the resolution of the content and more.
In addition, we have the possibility of making different general configurations when watching video content. Automatically, I’m sure many of you have verified on many occasions that the streaming platform shows us recommendations based on its own algorithm. But in many cases these recommendations for reproduction do not make much sense.
Well, now we are going to tell you that YouTube no longer shows recommended videos to users who have logged out. This means that these recommendations will disappear when we log out of our Google account on YouTube. It is also important to know that the same thing will happen if we use Incognito mode in a browser window. Thus, in these cases that we are telling you about, instead of appearing in the usual recommended videos on the website, a simple YouTube home page is displayed without videos or recommendations on what to watch.
This is a change that little by little is reaching all users, it has not occurred globally all at once.
This is how you can get rid of YouTube recommendations
Many of you probably already know that before, even in incognito mode or when you were not logged in, Google still showed video suggestions. However, now things have changed radically.
Now, when we are faced with this circumstance, we will see a message that says Find something to start. This means that if we have not authenticated ourselves on the streaming portal or we are in an incognito window, we start from scratch when it comes to our history and recommendations. Therefore, videos are no longer recommended by default.
Even when searching in this new playback mode, YouTube will no longer continue to show us video suggestions that are sometimes absurd. Hence, perhaps for many users this mode of operation, without accessing our Google account, can become a very interesting way to watch videos without absurd recommendations.
On the contrary, there may also be many who prefer that YouTube offers them such advice about views. All you have to do is access your account with the corresponding password and email so that the operation of this section continues as usual. Be that as it may, and depending on our opinion regarding the recommendations offered, we now have the possibility of opting for one mode of operation or another.
