Mozilla is investigating YouTube’s recommendation controls — and you can help

Mozilla is investigating YouTube’s algorithmic controls — and wants you to help. The non-profit has revamped its RegretsReporter tool to examine unwanted YouTube recommendations. The updated browser extension will explore whether the platform truly allows users to reject recommendations. Mozilla’s RegretsReporter now targets YouTube’s algorithmic controls. YouTube’s algorithmic controls include buttons such as  “Not interested,” “Dislike,” and “Don’t recommend channel.” Your choices train YouTube‘s algorithm to not surface similar content.
