Question about YouTube Algorithm, regarding what we see when going to the site
Hi Warriors:
Hope everyone is well and safe.
Questions please regarding YouTube algorithm as what we see when landing on the site.
Today when visiting YouTube (the same as any time) when on the site you are shown 4 suggested videos to watch per line and it continues that way endlessly.
Most of the time when on YouTube I am searching for internet marketing and related, music, sports, and trials from various courts across the United States.
Obviously, when I arrive on the site there are suggestions related to what I commonly view. Today there was one video in particular that surprised me.
On the first line of the four videos( the last one of the four) was an ultra obscure 1970's progressive rock band that not even their families would know they made an album. Having been in the music industry (former D.J. and Rock And Roll author), I have knowledge of a lot of uncommon rock bands from the 60's or 70's but when I looked at the video being one of the four suggested the channel owner had 6,500 subscribers and the video 2085 views. Even though I know the band, I have never searched for them or written a comment pro or con about their music.
In his description of the video (comparing style of the recording) he references only one band that is common and about six that are obscure. He does not use any stereotypical music terms and is promoting nothing.
In YouTube's mind why would the video have come up in one of the first four choices for me, when so many of the others had higher subscriber bases, larger views, and a higher chance to entice me to click?
Don't get me wrong, it is great something esoteric was offered, but looking at it from their point of view wouldn't the algorithm suggest the 20 bands I most commonly seek, the most prevalent channels with internet marketing content, the sports teams I follow, and some of the trials being shown across the United States?
Thanks for any thoughts on how the uploader either through their doing or YouTube's thinking landed so high on the choices for me to view. Obviously, if there is a method to the madness I missed it and always seek to understand behind the scenes thoughts and processes.
Everyone be well,
CF
