Make YouTube Less Annoying by Changing These Eight Settings
YouTube was this cool site where you could watch hours of entertaining videos of other people like you, with few interruptions. In recent times, however, his management has made a series of decisions that make people more difficult for people like me to take advantage of the site. From the thrust of YouTube shorts in all corners of the site reading videos in lower resolutions, there are a lot of things that have made YouTube a website and an objectively worse than before. Fortunately, you can cancel some of the damage to get a better YouTube experience. Here is a list of settings you can modify and the tools you can use to repair the worst youtube troubles.
Get a YouTube bonus if you can

I don’t really like to tell people to pay for better experience, but the aggressive monetization of YouTube has left us little choice. Fortunately, YouTube Premium is one of the best digital subscriptions you can get, so if you can save $ 14 per month and use a lot YouTube, then you should get it. I just recommend it to get rid of advertisements, but this also allows you to download videos in high quality. If you really lack money, you can see if these YouTube without advertising applications are still working. There is even a premium YouTube subscription to $ 8 / month, which considerably reduces the announcements that you will meet, and can argue for some people.
Activate useful privacy options

On the Youtube application, you can take a break on monitoring the history of your watch and research history, as well as deactivating advertising customization. These options will improve your confidentiality when you use YouTube, but they may have certain side effects such as seeing less relevant announcements or not seeing your flow on the Youtube home page. I can live with these compromises, because they reduce the time that I spend watching videos, but if you appreciate the suggested videos of YouTube, then you should not take a break while watching the story.
To activate this, go to the YouTube application and press the profile icon in the upper right corner. Now go to Settings> Manage all stories. In the Orders Tab, you can deactivate your Youtube story. You can also type Manage history In the same tab and erase all your data there. Use it My advertising center Section to also deactivate personalized ads. When you’re done, take a minute to go through everything Youtube settings> Your data on Youtube To ensure that no recorded youtube data trace remains.
Improve image quality

YouTube is sometimes by default lower quality videos, and honestly, it can become boring very quickly, especially when all our devices have such beautiful screens today. You can solve this problem by going to Youtube settings> Video quality preferences. Faucet On Wi-Fi and select Superior image quality. This reads the videos in a higher resolution by default, at least while you are connected to a network.
Important reading parameters correction

I’m not really used to youtube to play automatic reading reading when I browse the application. You can deactivate this by going to Youtube parameters> Pancage. On this page, deactivate Next Play video,, Show information cards in the videoAnd Reading in flows. This should correct the most blatant automatic interruptions in YouTube.
Reduce notification spam

If you prefer to receive fewer notifications, you should try to modify your YouTube notification settings. Go to YouTube parameters> Notifications And deactivate notifications for everything you don’t need. I prefer to deactivate notifications worldwide via my iPhone settings, but doing it via the Youtube application allows you to receive certain notifications, while deactivating the most boring.
What do you think so far?
Keep your private subscriptions

For most people, I recommend not to reveal your YouTube subscriptions on your profile. Random foreigners do not need to know which videos interest you, and you can easily change it via the YouTube website. This option did not appear on the iPhone application of YouTube for any reason, so I recommend connecting to YouTube on a browser and going to Settings> Confidentiality. This opens the page of the privacy settings of the YouTube account, where you can activate Keep all my private subscriptions.

My colleague Justin Pot recently wrote on Untrap, an excellent extension that allows you to hide all garbage on YouTube. It works with all popular browsers and allows you to clean your YouTube flow in a few clicks. You can use it to hide a lot of things, including youtube shorts, suggested videos, live cats and much more. It allows you to make around 300 adjustments to the site.

If you are tired of being sucked up in the YouTube algorithm trap, you can use third -party applications to be completely released from the flow. My colleague Khamosh Pathak wrote on the game and some other alternatives that help you do exactly that. Depending on your platform and preferences, you can try to play, disturbed for YouTube or Newpipe to take more control over what you look at and not let algorithms define your observation habits.
