I’m still trying to figure out what an “iceberg” video is. The idea of an iceberg makes me think the bottom info should be more hidden or secret information, but from what I’ve seen, it’s just a ranking system? Not sure what it has to do with icebergs, or if it started as something that made sense and morphed into what it is today.
All I know is, YouTube keeps wanting to suggest them to me and there seems to be no way to get it to stop. I heard from one creator that it’s a format that’s currently trending, so that’s probably why they’re everywhere. But if they’re being recommended constantly, are they really trending, or is the algorithm just pushing them?
Anyways, I prefer to go off recommendations from other people anyway. YouTube’s suggestions are utter trash.
It can be both. It doesn’t push the iceberg videos to me, so I guess they’re not trending in my kind of demography.
I usually find new things by the suggestions that are related to the channels that I do watch, not from the general feed, which is useless.
So I basically only watch the stuff that I subscribe to, making my own feed with those.
