There's actually a "not interested" button in the drop down menu with every menu. I've been utilizing it for creators and videos that I don't want to watch.

[@ballet07]

Definitely!!!

[@auntrori]

There's also a "don't recommend" button... But that doesn't stop yt from continually recommending those same channels to me over and over. 😠

[@Withloveariaxo]

unfortunately it doesn't always work. I've very purposefully blocked Niko.cado and recently he was in my suggested videos! I clicked onto the page to make sure he was marked 'blocked' and yet there he was 😭 I've also told KZbin to not recommend him to me.

[@therealloubird]

Heather uploaded unpopular opinions recently and she made a excellent point. Channels who moved to baby/toddler and kid things she unsubscribed from. That’s not the life I am living now anymore so I did the same. I felt bad about that but I am past that stage as a person in my late 40s. It was a tag video. She said what I was thinking as a person with one child NOT a baby. Heathers situation is lateral to mine basically. I also don’t watch YT shorts here. Honestly because they are best on IG and TT for me. Why is YT pushing shorts here? I can’t understand why it’s “required”?

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

KZbin wants to compete and I totally get that, they do pay better than the other platforms so why not. But I wish they would separate the two in the subscription feed :)

[@therealloubird]

@@AngelicaNyqvist I appreciate that response. I just did not get it. Personally I prefer it on TT or IG. Shorts should be separated here. I fully agree with you. BTW the CP Muppets collection is a stab in the best way to my childhood. It looks so good. Hope you get that in PR.

[@jessicarauch1525]

Seriously Heather had an excellent point and I stopped following those people a few months ago. I barely liked listening to baby videos when I had a baby. 😂 YR is my escape!!

[@therealloubird]

@@jessicarauch1525 exactly. I don’t mind a life change insert here and there but to fully move to kiddo everything is not the journey I am living now. You said it right a “escape”. Parents get this comment Jessica. Fully agree ❤️

[@annihilxte]

Agreed! I noticed I was doing the same when she said that. I’m even a mom with a toddler but I just don’t want to see mommy content and especially hate it when people turn their entire channel into a family channel after they have a baby like … no. Just no 😂

[@kerricoakley1788]

I love watching your videos. Your style of makeup is much more colorful than mine, but I like to live vicariously through you with color. I also appreciate your bluntness and honesty…added bonus is you’re funny as hell…”this brow is going to Harvard and this brow is dropping out of community college” 😂😂

[@crystalpolice]

In regards to gatekeeping gaming, your ability to see something flawed and then change it in yourself is one of the reasons I continue to watch and enjoy your channel. It's OK if we make mistakes; it's not OK if we don't grow from these mistakes. Love you and your honesty!

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

I appreciate that!

[@rawsteph4114]

I do get frustrated when some KZbinrs I'm subscribed to complain a lot about not getting the views and blaming it all on the algorithm. Though I'm a huge fan of some of these channels, there are some things I think they could improve and some of their videos are really repetitive and even I am not interested. As you said, it's about taking some accountability and adapting.

[@beautbyj79]

I also notice that creators I used to watch all their videos have changed their content because they're bored and I'm not interested in the new content they're creating and they blame the algorithm. If I followed you because you're a beauty channel and suddenly you decide to become a cooking channel I'm not going to watch, I know how to cook but I'm not good with my makeup

[@nancyquixotic2422]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm gonna weigh in. I watch certain people because I like those people. Like you, Hannah and Khaki (?), I'll watch no matter what. Same for Kathleen even though that woman never uploads 🙃. Of course I'll click on new makeup videos because I love makeup, but the creator is the biggest factor! I think people that are honestly themselves play a big part in it.

[@christyfielding7498]

It's Kackie. But yeah I feel the same way. I will click in makeup videos if people I don't know if I get recommended one to see if I vibe with them. But most often I click because of the person and content is a 2nd consideration.

[@BlahBlah-sz4ne]

Very interesting discussion. What I think is most problematic about the algorithm is that it creates an echo chamber and shows you suggestions that can make it seem like certain opinions are more prevalent or not show diversity of opinion. For me I have to always remember that this is not a platform to get a rounded view of the world. In essence it reinforces division and polarity. But for makeup videos I am now at a stage that I rarely get suggested what or who I don't want to watch. So that at least is working for me.

[@geniej2378]

As "smart" as an algorithm is, it always learns from humans. Until we solve the diversity issues in the real world, they'll show up in our online spaces. This doesn't mean that you can't teach the algorithm to show you different content. In fact I recommend it!

[@amberspecter]

I'm glad the algorithm is working for you, because it's definitely not working for me. I'm getting Mr Beast, Sidemen, Sports and everything trending recommended to me, even though I never watch any of these. How many times do I have to click "not interested" and "don't recommend this channel" until my FBI agent catches on?

[@cici3147]

'FORCE FEEDING THE ALGORITHM FOR POC CREATORS' YES! I made this connection a few years back, purposely seeking out poc creators (using search and only selecting them) across my platforms. IN FACT, back when Facebook showed you your demographics it guessed for you based on your likes, it listed me (white/Caucasian) as black/African american... cause for some reason their the only ones interested in black creators and stuff??? It's bad. I'm still working on getting more POC creators on my KZbin suggestions

[@emmalouise6529]

I started doing this just as an exercise to force the algorythm, and then I was like... wait. This content is also better. 😂 Now many of my favourite content creators are people of colour and my feed looks totally different.

[@saritavenkatapathynaidu9533]

Someone sent me a link that shows the demographic categories that Facebook assumes you belong to based on your clicks, and my intentional bias toward PoC and black creators/black non-men specifically as well as my interest in all kinds of people’s content that are PoC and ofc my home people, Tamil and other S Asian communities, means that Facebook & Instagram thinks I’m a black woman, a democrat, and much more- but it’s just telling about what the patterns of most viewers and human beings have and their biases that get written into these programs and algorithms. I thought it was very interesting.

[@emmalouise6529]

Sorry if I'm spamming your comments, but I think you said it best when you spoke about the makeup community having far too many options. The influx of product and endless pallets is getting a bit much for most. Keep doing you beautiful. 😘

[@sylviemariehebert9758]

Hi Angelica, I love discussions about KZbin as an “entity”. I am wondering about the fact that you get 8M impressions per months and don’t have 8M views. I mean the algorithm doesn’t always get it right, like showing you travel vlogs when you were only interested in that one city. The question is “how often do they get it wrong?”. 50% of the time or 98% of the time…

[@nataschaehlers1446]

Hi Angie, I wish I could meet you in person. You are such an inspiration for me - not just for your love of makeup and colourful looks, but even more so for you personality and your drive to always be fair and objective about all things. Please never change your channel or anything about yourself. I would never have the confidence to wear colorful makeup - BUT your content brings me back day after day. I truly love you and your channel.

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

thank you!

We love you Angie. Love when you do these! I love your passion and love your views and opinions😘🤗💕

Thank you so much!!

[@Kimbyroseh]

Thank you for Clarifying about not clicking on a video we dont want to watch! There are some channels I’ve enjoyed, and their channels slowly change and so I less watch of their videos because it’s stuff I’m not interested in. Then they finally do a video I am interested in, only to hear them complain about their views being down and they make me feel like it’s my fault for not watching, or they blame KZbin. But, maybe it’s them. Anyways, I’m glad you don’t seem to complain if things don’t go your way, that you don’t blame everyone else for your struggles (I do t even know if you have struggles because you do such a good job). The creators who complain about everything, I start not getting excited to watch their videos.

[@leahmiranda8359]

I search for eyeshadow declutter videos. I watch (listen to) them to go to sleep. When I get a recommendation for one, I save it to ‘watch later’ for that evening. The best part is that I’ve found creators I like and have subscribed to and watch all their content. When I subscribe to a channel, I watch all of their uploads. I found this video very clarifying …. And of course the makeup is stunning 💛💛💛🥰

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

[@nikkirevasmrplus5313]

I think as long as one loves what they do... like myself youtube has been mostly a hobby than anything else. I have sadly watched my analytics drop to half of what I'm used to. I'm ok with this as it's not my job. 🤷‍♀️

[@hannahr1396]

The hair. The eyeshadow. They are giving me life!!! With regard to clicking on videos that are suggested to me personally, I am always nervous to try out a new personality. I keep coming back to the same creators bc I love their personalities (like yours!) and I feel very invested as a viewer. I get advertised the new, hot makeup being reviewed by numerous creators, but at the end of the day, I want to watch the creators I know and love! I love the chatty videos and videos that inspire us to be creative with makeup in general, rather than always chasing the new products. 💜💜💜

[@carinam4258]

There’s a “couple” of KZbinrs I used to follow and absolutely loved but had to unfollow when I realized I hadn’t watched a single video of them (some of them) IN YEARS!!! Although they upload quite regularly I can’t watch their videos simply because they make me feel bad, wrong, you name it. They were making me feel not enough, envious of their “perfect lives” and I realized there was literally nothing on their content that made me feel like entertained or inspired. Instead of feeling fired up by them I was feeling dragged down. Obviously I’m not going to name them but were all beauty/makeup channels that became “I got married everything is about my husband now “ or “I’ve done WeightLoss surgery so now all my content will be about diets/ fitness”. So definitely some creators are for sure loosing subscribers simply because their content doesn’t appeal anymore.

[@christyfielding7498]

I wouldn't say it's just your thumbnails that make people not click. It could be they just aren't interested in what the video is about.

[@QueerBones]

Thank you for highlighting my comment and talking about it. Algorithmic bias is often overlooked and I think it’s important to talk about it or mention it when talking about the algorithms in general.

[@erica1898]

I love KZbin. Everyone says KZbin is dead. I don't agree. KZbin is different. For channels I watch it's because of the content and/or the person. There are channels that I am subscribed too that I may not watch all the time because I am not interested in what they are putting out and there's channels that I watch all the time either for the content or just because I enjoy watching them! Some channels that were more makeup/beauty and sub boxes, etc, that now are becoming more family channels or vlog types, I'm not a fan of. I have unsubscribed to several channels that have just taken a new path that I am not interested in. I find that KZbin, for the most part, has recommended relevant videos and channels to me.

One thing I’ve noticed with the TikTok algorithm is that it fails to understand that I have many interests. I can appreciate a well choreographed dance, but I also watch a lot of mental health videos, and now I never get dances in my feed, which is unfortunate

[@esmeraldacucuzza7134]

I’ve been loving long form content with a mix of talking about the industry and give us feed back about good quality makeup.

[@Purrsephone19]

The reason I stopped watching makeup is everyone does the SAME LOOKS. Glowy skin, sharp eyeliner, warn brown eyeshadow, overly bronzed AND OVERLY BLUSHED. Natural skin is fine, but no one does anything too different. Every pallet, warn neutral look. And I don't like glowy skin because it looks so greasy by end of day. In photo, on videos sure it looks impressive. But anyone i see in real life who do those trends have to blot all day, add powder, and I don't want to fuss with that. So I stopped watching a LOT of people. I LOVE that you play with color, and it makes me so happy and inspired to play myself. That's what I miss about the beauty community most. Getting inspired.

[@makeupthoughts777]

I noticed the same thing, I still watch makeup content but these days I actively seek out microscopic channels ( by that I mean under 1k subs)

[@nikkirevasmrplus5313]

I think people are just over makeup in general 🤔 people are caring more about low key easy fast looks. We want skin care and hair care. Most of us have aged a bit and the colorful over the top makeup is no longer what the masses want. I personally love color and makeup ESPECIALLY GRWM! I'm looking 👀 for makeup that doesn't look like makeup less is more these days. Although this could change next season... 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe that's the masses, but there's still alot of us who still very much love color and lots of makeup.

We have to think about what’s behind the algorithm: YT is trying to keep people on their platform for as long as possible and to place ads for their customers. Personally, I’ve just never been into random "indie"/black-labeled brands and perfume. Sephora hauls. I’m happily skipping these videos.

[@annihilxte]

I’m glad you expanded on this, because you’re definitely making some great points. Personally I think you should be as blunt as you want. It’s what I love about you! I’m the same way and it gets me in trouble sometimes too 😂 but I think you’re true to yourself, you have some very cool opinions that are always informative, you’re relatable and that’s how in just a couple months you’ve become my most watched KZbinr. Also, glad you pointed out how it’s not our job to save a channel that’s dying due to their own refusal to change! I keep noticing a certain beautytubers videos dropping in subs and views and I like her so I felt bad but you’re right. It’s not always the algorithm, sometimes it is on the creator! Happy that you’re always willing to give us great content no matter what. ❤❤

[@janessajayechampagne]

As with most things, I generally fall into the camp of "both/and" when it comes to how the algorithm works. Viewer behavior is part of it and creator behavior is part of it. I'm a teeny tiny channel, so YT clearly doesn't care much about what I'm up to, but at one point I was starting to see some growth on my channel that I was really excited about. I was routinely getting at or above my number of subscribers for views (don't get excited - I mean a REALLY TINY CHANNEL! lol) and looking at the analytics, I saw that YT was starting to drive some traffic from end screen recommendations and I was starting to get some views and occasional new subscribers from that. I thought, "Great! I should record a channel intro video to tell people what I'm all about when they visit!" So I recorded what I thought was a very cute 3.5 minute intro and posted it to my channel page. After that, my views TANKED. It's hard to know exactly what the algorithm values, but one I hear over and over is consistency. I typically make videos in the 20-30 minute range, and here I go putting out a super short video. Obviously, there are still questions about whether or not the content is what people want, but I can see in the backend that I'm not really getting those end screen spots any more after I released that short intro video. Looking back at it now with more experience, I would have put it up as unlisted and then added it to the channel preview spot on my page, but I didn't know any better (and I thought it had turned out well). It's frustrating because newer, smaller creators already have a challenge trying to get any views, so seeing a little bit of growth and then having it completely change based on one upload can make you feel hopeless.

[@jessicarauch1525]

I understood what you meant in your last video perfectly and though it was a good discussion. I can’t believe people misunderstood it.

[@dgs788]

I really think the creators that survive and thrive because they can evolve with the content people want to watch, but in addition to an unintentional POC and weight bias, people also have an unintentional bias against people without the income to spend on the new new, whether it be books, fashion, makeup, video games, planning, bullet journaling or any other channels with a product bias. It does seem to encourage shopping for new things, whether we generate this ourselves by only click on the new new or the algorithm itself is designed to favor this. KZbin benefits the privileded creators, and I am not saying that it's intentional. It's just true. I don't think those creators aren't working hard, because often they are working VERY hard, but more money means you can be more liberal with your content creation.

[@ambermariestewart]

I feel like I personally am shown a good chunk of those 8M/mo impressions. There's no way that's even close to representing the number of people KZbin puts your content in front of. The algorithm sucks in more ways than racism. After every New Makeup Releases, the recommended panel is all past versions of the Friday upload (or from when it was Sunday). It often auto plays to the previous week. I know on some level that's because I'll listen to stuff like that as background noise or to fall asleep, but don't beat yourself up because millions of viewers are choosing to not click; I truly don't think that's the big picture.

I completely agree with everything you said with respect to videos, but I do personally think KZbins shorts algorithm is very broken. I'll get recommended a short on my home page that I'm interested in and watch it, but when I swipe to the next one not on my page it'll randomly be a misogynistic, anti trans, anti choice, super religious etc short that is as far from my viewing activity on KZbin that anything could possibly be 😑 one of the big reasons I've stopped watching most shorts on here cause I don't trust YT to not show me something offensive that I don't want to see.

I manage my preferences lile once a month and my thread is perfect, it shows me exactly what I want to see and the advertisements are really interesting, too. Instagram is a disaster, I don't get what their algorithm thinks. KZbin is fine, it's just quite slow in understanding that I looked something up once and don't need to watch more, which with Facebook I can just tell them in the settings. I wish youtube would do that too.

I had a real hard time seeing the connection to gaming with this collection 🤷‍♀Seems like she's really into the e-girl aesthetic? I'm not her follower so maybe she talks about gaming a lot in her videos idk.

[@tihanaharrison6728]

I love watching your videos, love your sense of humour, your candidnes and opinions. By the time.i educate the YT algorithm about what I want to see, I don't want to see it any longer, so it always seems to catch up too slowly for me, it seems. I also don't want to watch as many videos or don't really watch the same content like I used to. And probably don't know what sort of content I want to watch now. Maybe I want to watch less YT in general🤔🤔....🤷‍♀️

[@jackivacha]

Oh my God! This has been so interesting to watch. I actually watched it twice!You’re the best Angie!❤

[@robinmoore7202]

The KZbin algorithm is weird for me. I’m an old chick and yet I keep getting recommended current music (no, thank you) and sports channels, like MMA. I’ve never searched out either of these topics and I’ve been on here for years. I constantly have to select “don’t recommend” but it keeps happening. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@gwendolyncampbell7932]

The other day I got a Thanksgiving parade video of Barney dying in my feed. And I watched it and the comments were " the algorithm brought us together " . They are for sure messing with us.

[@misfor]

“This brow is dropping out of community college” 🤣🤣🤣 I always enjoy you bringing the geeky and this video is a lot of fun.

[@ryyyyan]

Yes!!! Colin! Another great vid Angie, Thanks ! LMAO the minecraft reccomendations are so true.

[@cherylb_88]

There’s other beauty channels that started focusing more on other things and less on the beauty then wonder why their channel isn’t doing as well. Chatting isn’t the issue it’s the topics and talking about the same subject a million times over gets annoying tbh. Then they blame the algorithm and YT for losing subscribers so they decide they’re going to quit. Nope that’s all you’re own doings. It’s sad because I loved their channel. Glad you brought this subject up.

[@brendadawson4912]

Hi Angie! This is one of my favorite looks you’ve done ❤ SO PRETTY!!

[@judydempsey3957]

Good afternoon Angie from NY State…The weather here today is beautiful. The sun is out and people are mowing their lawns including my husband. I just finshed my makeup😂😂 about 4 hours ago.. I always look for your videos to watch when I do my makeup….. Great Job as always…..Judy D

[@FragrantFindings]

Aaaah Queer Bones ♡ Colin is brilliant and knowledgeable, love their content- both for their makeup reviews and commentary on social issues.

[@preciousdashoo6325]

I think I’m part of the few that still enjoy makeup content a lot. I find it therapeutic. I do my best to watch as many makeup videos as possible but it still saddens me that the beauty contents are decreasing. Yes I know it’s not the creators’ fault

[@Kat-fr3yg]

Hi, I just stumbled here. Here is my impression. Hopefully, it is some constructive criticism. I searched a makeup palette tutorial and found you. For beauty tutorials, your subject of the video makes no sense. I want to look at makeup tutorial but your subject is about algorithm? I would have skipped normally, since it wouldn’t seem to be what I’m looking for based on title. But what did draw me in was the colors of your eyeshadow, really pretty colors. It would be nice if you talked more about what you were using. I skipped to the eyeshadow part and you were just talking about influencer things and I just wanted to hear about the makeup… what colors and shades, placement, etc. This isn’t meant to be hateful and I hope just helpful, based on what you said in your video and keeping/gaining your audience. Maybe this was a fluke video where you talked about something random, but people looking for beauty tips want to hear beauty tips.

[@LouisSaver2012]

Now I actually see youtube suggest videos from really random KZbinr with hundreds view per video to me. I just find it weird so I never click it.

[@JeanettesBeautyWorld]

Thank you for your view on things. I'm a baby you tuber, at age 56. I'm having fun, and still learning. I love watching you!

[@rubyfullglam]

Just my two cents worth 🙂💝 I absolutely love youtube and have it on in the background all day but I dont go searching for videos, I watch my favourite subscriptions old videos 🙂💝

[@Queenofcats36]

My feed is pretty much designed for things I watch, if anything that comes up I don't like, I just click "I'm not interested". And gamer girl annoys me, I like gaming every now and then, and I'm an old school Pokémon nerd!

[@mevenaflaux9071]

Soooo interesting to watch every single time! All these elements go to the same idea : you gotta question yourself for your own success or failure. There is so much too see with marketing also, it'¥ crazy! Working in the communication and marketing field I have to work on all of these questions (thumbnail, added value in the vid, relevance on the market, newness...). It is so impressive how much content creators need to be polyvalent and creative. And then people say it's an easy job 😂 No dear, it's just a job that requires passion, and when people have their passion for work they're grateful and don't complain much.

[@Observette]

Angie, do you have any thoughts about Jeffree Star supposedly leaving youtube because nobody’s watching his videos (meanwhile he gets 1mil views a video). 🙄 Would love to hear you talk about that and people who are constantly saying the beauty community is dead. I know you’ve spoken about it before but would love a revisit.

[@annihilxte]

I’m sick and dying in bed today so thank you for this! I was watching your hour long Devinah swatch party before this haha ❤❤

[@mirny1509]

Hope you feel better!

[@annihilxte]

@@mirny1509 thank you! ❤

[@Teeeyt]

I watch Alexandria Ryan for her character, I am not even able to purchase the boxes she shows in videos but I always get unboxings recommended 😶😀

[@jpagina]

Thanks for the lesson. I had no idea how this yt worked. I do love fashion and make-up. Especially unique videos. I learn quite a bit. I like that you experiment with colors. Keeps me from being stuck in a rut. Thank you Angelica for your dedication and you being you! I also recommend your channel to women in person. I hope it helps since mostly they are acquaintances.

[@tine.d]

After your last video I followed your recommendations and voila my page is now filled with the perfect content for ME and my taste. ❤ thank you Angie!

[@Silviaexcuchuflus]

Hi, Angie!!! Very interesting video, I liked the first one (and I got right what you tried to explain 😉) and this one also. I think is so important to keep a critical thinking when we’re receiving so much information from so many sources 🤓

[@christahodges]

Good morning Angie! Love that you are doing a part 2!!! 🙌😊 Thank you for this video. Hope you have an amazing day 💚💙💜

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

Thank you! You too!

[@christahodges]

@@AngelicaNyqvist You're welcome 😊 Thank you !

[@tinabladen3463]

I just dont use suggested videos, mainly because my 10 year old gaming mad child also uses my KZbin account and all the suggested are Minecraft and Pokémon. My beauty content i watch gets totally lost. I either search for specific products i want videos on, or i use my subscriptions list. I honestly choose the videos by creator, then products used, if i cant get a brand in that video in UK, I’m less likely to watch it, purely because it annoys me that i cant get things in UK in 2022. We’ve only just got Sephora and still dont have a lot of brands. Some people i watch for technical content, meaning techniques to achieve looks i want to do, or by the colour and style of makeup in the thumbnail. I’m a neutral girl, but i do like a grungy Smokey eye and certain colours i love, but have no idea how to use them. So why do i subscribe to you, because you are a lot closer in age than many other creators so many face products that work for you, also work for me. Therefore, i watch those videos with lots of new products rather than a new eye shadow palette, and yes, i will have looked at the thumbnail. Each channel I’m subscribed to, i watch for specific reasons, sometimes its even just because i like the creator. I cant always watch within 24 hrs though, due to having a child and having to get a child sorted and to school etc i watch y videos at night before bed, so dont always get chance, it could be weeks later like this one because it was too long to watch the night it was posted and its taken till now to remember i wanted to watch it. I definitely think styles have changed too, i watch loads more summer looks, because i am out and about more in summer, purely through physical disabilities, I’m much better in summer. I like nice easy glowy bronzed summer makeup that makes me feel a million dollars when I’m actually not. I do also as you say watch and search for specific palettes i want to use, Vieve essentials and Dior backstage being 2 i use a lot. I definitely think i got the gist much more in this video though.

[@suzzanahbessette6989]

I think the algorithm has trouble recommending stuff for people like me because I am a magpie. I like some really random and disparate interests when it comes to KZbin. I think that is something to be aware of if you aren't seeing what you want.

[@JeanettesBeautyWorld]

I love the 1988 look! I graduated high school in 1984, so I am an 80's girl forever, 😂

[@sharoncerretani]

Well, the damn algorithm, keeps giving me you your channel as a mix, vs your most recent video. Errrr

[@melaniegorniak3803]

I related to what you said about sometimes coming off as a B because of how we say things , I’ve watched and loved you for so many yrs at this point but yea I could choose better ways to get across how something made me personally feel. I’m having a hard time finding more channels I’m getting recommended things that make me go WTF lol I watch the same 5 ppl and end up watching the playlists over and over because I can’t find new Creators that I click with.

[@crystalblondeel4383]

Everyone keeps saying, that people no longer care about makeup...I 100% DISAGREE! I LOVE MAKEUP, MAKEUP is 100% A PART of my SOUL & what & WHO I am...There will ALWAYS be, PEOPLE out there WHO likes OR love makeup! Maybe even as MUCH as I DO... I do know ONE thing, MAKEUP is NOT going anywhere*** And that makes me happy! I can WATCH, someone LIKE Angle do Makeup ALL DAY. Because I ALWAYS learn SOMETHING NEW, EVERY time I watch her VIDEO'S & some OTHER KZbinrs as WELL🙂💕💄💋💜

[@discord37]

Mariale made her own game, but she has a twitch channel where I would guess she plays games. You can find links to her things on the colourpop youtue where she shows her collection. She has a youtube page also. I don't game much now but I'm a gamer at heart, I used to live in an MMO for a long time :). I think her palette is one the prettiest CP has done all year.

[@pearlwinters5564]

I’m very guilty of being bored and just clicking on videos that were recommended to me regardless if it’s something I’m super interested in or not. I definitely need to work on searching for new things for sure

[@0ctoPop]

Maybe it's something that's been addressed, probably it has, but what's up with the audio quality? The background hiss is loud enough that it makes it hard to listen to sometimes.

[@jennawar13]

The algorithm is great when I want to binge a certain type of content without subscribing. There will be seasonal gaming recommendation videos and I don’t follow any gaming creators but I’ll click on those and then get more recommendations from the algorithm and it will be helpful because I want a wishlist or to stay informed on what’s new. Another one is I do follow a lot of booktubers but I love watching peoples TBR videos for a readathon from other people participating. It helps me see the content of the whole community participating without having to follow all the time. Because sometimes creators make some videos that you’re interested in but it’s not the bulk of what they are posting.

[@janvann8386]

Omg Angie… thank you so much for this video. I have a tiny channel that I’m doing for funzies but I would like it to do well. Your thoughts and information is really helping me understand the KZbins and what I’m doing wrong. I seriously appreciate you and this video.

[@jenbcrueltyfree]

You know now that you say something about it Instagram has never suggested any black beauty creators to me...🤔

[@elizabethjones2]

I wonder what was the 1st one of your videos I clicked on? I honestly can't remember I think honestly I was just looking for someone new to watch and I saw your thumbnails a couple times and then one day I clicked on it because at that time I was looking for someone new and I can say I was intrigued by you using color instead of most the people I watched was only doing regular neutral looks. But is there a way I can see the 1st one cause I remember why I did it but I don't remember which one it was. Lol

[@rayanixon93]

Your face makeup was sooooo lovely! I'd like to see posts on KZbin of your fits paired with the makeup you did when you go out and about 😃

[@charmedbymeghan]

Those people who are nick picking you - are 1 out of 100,000 people who saying that. So I just want you to know that MOST people aren't thinking that or going along with it.

[@PrincessHeathaB]

I follow beauty, art, and a little bit of fashion content. I usually get recommended videos that are pretty aligned with my interests. I did have an interesting couple of weeks where I was getting recommend lesbian thirst traps and lesbian music videos. I’m an LGTBQIA+ ally but straight myself and have no idea what I watched that lead The KZbin algorithm to think I wanted all the lesbian content. That said, I discovered some bangers and I’m always open to learning about groups I am not a part of so cool.

[@NotSoUnitedNations]

i actually love the look you ended up with! gives me tlc vibes in a way, veeeeery late 90s/early 00s

[@daniellerichard5621]

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, but had to leave a comment about how beautiful the look turned out. Hair, makeup, sweater... one of my favorite looks to date

[@aaflesje]

I think people literally dont listen to Angie, only look at the title or something🤦🏻‍♀️

[@cathylee5173]

Huh. I needed to hear this. I had thoughts about not clicking on all the videos of channels I subscribe to. But that's not my responsibility if I'm not interested in that video. Thank you!

[@samanthahernandez6286]

The outside of your house sounds like the outside of mine right now 🤣🤣 Never worry about the outside sounds, I would bet most of us don't mind. Very interesting video! It is nice to hear how KZbin works on the creator end.

[@starwriter_xoxo]

Off topic of the main discussion, but I've never liked gamer girl for two reasons: 1) people often refer to women as gamer girls in a demeaning way, in my experience and 2) nowadays on twitch, gamer girls are so often linked to mostly naked girls giggling into the camera, not even playing a game.
