YouTube users (so… everyone with an internet connection) have begged the platform for years to give them more control over their home feeds. Users have been at the mercy of the algorithm since the beginning, but YouTube’s latest change is looking to change that. Kinda. The platform is rolling out Custom Feeds, but it’ll require a prompt to get the ball rolling, rather than something you can build manually. Still, it’s a step in the right direction.
