The power of technology has lead us into a world we have built which still thrives us with curiosity to explore more. Meanwhile the innovations that drives our day today life has undergone of the stories to be known since we are always looking towards the latest things. The Youtube algorithm changed a lot during the period from its birth up to now.
It has used different strategies to keep viewer on the platform very powerfully, while the latest model they are using has been very successful. Which is a machine learning model and even can be seen as a deep learning model, specifically a supervised learning algorithm.
What inspired me to write this blog post is that, recently I was watching a youtube video about a tech company founder who was talking about how we could lead our country to keep the next step on the IT sector by mainly focusing on product development. When the video finished, I was very much inspired to deep dive into more content like this, I have that feeling to start watching many videos like that. But the things is I don’t know what to search, I don’t know how to make that feeling, that emotion into the right words in order to find the exact video I want. So gave up with the feeling and when I went to the home tab, to my surprise what I found was, the videos that I wanted to watch already suggested me on the home page. And by looking at them I found out that these are the actual videos that I need to watch in order to dive deeper into the subject.
So what we can basically see here is, the Youtube algorithm knows what you need next, more than you know it consciously!.
And this is a very good tool if we use it in the proper way. If we have some kind of a purpose we could easily become an expert by starting watching from the basic videos up to the pro’s with help of Youtube’s algorithm by showing you the exact thing that you want to watch next.
See how amazing it is!.
There are many content out there in the internet about the Youtube algorithm. But I think when looking from the users point of view, more the data Youtube knows about you, it can predict your next likely to watch video very clearly.
They do not only use the algorithm to work as an video suggestion tool to you, it finds your Emotional Triggers, Content Loops, Micro-interests, etc.. and keep you on the platform by engaging you like a trapped rabbit hole.
Now many of us see this system negatively most of the time. Yes, google is profiting and that’s why there algorithm is this much powerful. But there are many unseen benefits that we are able to get out of this if we think wisely.
- Discovery of new interests
- Personal Growth
- Community Building
- etc… (your imagination set’s the limit for this tool)
Think this is as an intelligent tool that knows about you more than you do, so you can benefit a lot as I’m using right now.
