Although it may seem otherwise, the truth is that the YouTube platform is constantly evolving. The changes that occur in it may not be as striking as those that occur in WhatsApp or some other social network, but for some time now those responsible have been especially active polishing different details.
On this occasion, however, one of its latest developments is especially eye-catching. Has it happened to you that you go to YouTube and find that it is “empty”? It is not a fault of your browser Nothing like that. It will really be like this from now on, until the moment you open your session. And there really is an explanation for it.
Have YouTube recommendations disappeared?
All those who use the video platform frequently are used to seeing its main page full of videos, content and recommendations, regardless of when or how they enter this social network (because we should not forget that, despite everything, it is also considered as such). Well, from now on this is going to change, and it will not always be like this.
Whether you enter YouTube without having logged in or logged in, or if you do so, for example, in Incognito Mode, it will appear empty. Simply with the following message: “Find something to start.
Start watching videos so we can create a video feed according to your tastes.” A measure that is curious to say the least and can become “shocking”.
Although visually, especially seeing YouTube empty right off the bat can seem strange (it has never happened before), the truth is that it has a certain logic.
Beyond the better or worse that this way it will be able to adapt to the tastes of each user from scratch (as long as the user does not log in, it is advisable to repeat that), this novelty is the culmination of a previous process.
YouTube has been making changes for quite some time, although sometimes these tend to be overlooked by most users. In fact, some social media profiles, especially of They had been warning for some time that the platform was going to carry out more or less significant changes related precisely to their recommendations.
The evolution of YouTube recommendations
One of the most classic features, so to speak, has always been to recommend or suggest content and videos according to your tastes. That later getting it more or less right is another thing. But if you pay attention, it’s easy to see that The position regarding this has been changing progressively over time, especially in recent months.
Although the fact that YouTube is now “emptying” may be something more visual, last summer the well-known platform already carried out a considerable change of direction by taking a surprising measure: it announced that those users who did not have the opt-out option activated remember their history they would not be able to access video recommendations. That is to say, the thing has been going on for a long time.
