YouTube provides its users with various entertainment and educational videos for a long time now. However, the video platform's recommendations could lead them into weird videos that may not appropriate to the younger audience.
The spokesperson also explained that the company updates its systems on an ongoing basis to improve its users' experience. In 2019, YouTube launched over 30 different changes to reduce recommendations of borderline content, he added.
On the other hand, Mozilla's new browser extension could further help in fixing the issue. It will send the data about how people usually use YouTube to the browser. However, it will not collect information about what the users are watching or searching for unless they provide it themselves.
The company hopes that the browser extension could help the users understand Youtube's recommendations, enabling them to know what videos could lead to violent, racist, or conspirational content.
