Following many complaints of people receiving similar recommendations based on one view, the current changes have been rolled out.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe now pull in recommendations from a wider set of topics\u2014on any given day, more than 200 million videos are recommended on the homepage alone. In fact, in the last year alone, we\u2019ve made hundreds of changes to improve the quality of recommendations for users on YouTube.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Watch-out for Violators of community Guidelines<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the media publisher will sharpen its look out \u201cat how we can reduce the spread of content that comes close to\u2014but doesn\u2019t quite cross the line of\u2014violating our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/yt\/about\/policies\/#community-guidelines\">Community Guidelines<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it would cease to recommend non-factual, \u2018borderline content\u2019 such as phone miracles for cancer or similar uploads.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conceding that only 1 percent of the Youtube population would actually view \u2018borderline content\u2019 it vowed that it will not run any blanket ban on such posts.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulling-out its Community Guidelines as the ultimate judge on quality of content it would publish, Youtube has reiterated that \u2018borderline content\u2019 would be available for those who would like to watch such information. However, henceforth it would not recommend such videos based on its \u201crecommendation\u201d algorithm. Secondly, subscribers of such channels would continue to receive such recommendations as part of search results.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Youtube thus squarely leaves the responsibility to view content to the user community. It\u2019s only restraint that it would officially not bring out \u2018borderline content\u2019 to those who do not appear to be interested in such content, until further use-pattern by the user.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full-fledged program is already in place at YouTube United States by getting<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/9230586\"> public guidelines<\/a>-trained evaluators to train via machine learning systems to evaluate and generate recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a much awaited move, YouTube, the popular user-content-generated video platform shall not recommend &#8220;borderline content&#8221; or conspiracy theories such as the moon landing was faked or the earth being flat, going forward.
