Mozilla Is Crowdsourcing Research into YouTube Recommendations

This criticism shouldn't apply anymore. They predict categories you like and you can select a category. The 'All' page should be a mix of all categories, not just cat videos. Amazon on the other hand...

> you can select a category

Could you tell me how ? Would love to have that feature. They seem to have turned this off.

I'm sorry I don't know how to turn it on. When I go to youtube.com, at the top it has about 15 categories that it has gleaned from my use (e.g. Guitar, Flight Simulators), some of which I'm surprised it learned, as well as All, Mix, Trending. I use Edge and I'm logged in to YouTube.

I know what you are talking about. They had rolled it out in my region and I loved it. Now they seem to have rolled it back
