Level of user satisfaction with the current you tube recommendation system

Abstract

YouTube is a very large video platform that users use for an equally large variety of reasons. YouTube uses a recommendation system to help each user pick videos that suits their requirements. However, filtering these videos is not an easy task, and the recommendation system may make mistakes. This paper discusses what problems the recommendation system has and how dire these problems are through a survey in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the current recommendation system. Out of 59 participants, 46 of them find the recommendation system is acceptable, good or excellent, but still points out several problems. Between the 24 creators participating in the survey, the recommendation system is still acceptable, but inclined much more towards being poor. We concluded that there is a lack of clarity on how the recommendation system works. This characteristic disliked mainly by creators because they are unable to direct their works to the prospective viewers.
