YouTube update brings tweaked algorithm to suggest ‘quality’ content
Listening to the parents’ complaints about YouTube recommending inappropriate videos in YouTube app, Google has finally rolled out a new update for the app last month, aimed to present more quality and family-friendly content and to appease Federal Trade Commission, according to a Bloomberg report.
YouTube has confirmed this stating, “We make hundreds of changes every year to make it easier for people to find what they want to watch on YouTube,” Ivy Choi, a company spokeswoman, said in a statement. “We recently made one such change that improves the ability for users to find quality family content.”
YouTube has revamped the apps video recommendation algorithm resulting in relatively better video suggestions to the users. This dumped lots of contents from several channels, while several contents suddenly started seeing a boost in views. This has alarmed lots of content producers in terms of survival.
