I say my prayers nightly to the KZhead algorithm
Mr beast
damn
I say my prayers nightly to MrBeast 🙏
mrbeast
thord
This is American KZhead though, if you set your account to a different country you're gonna get completely different videos like maybe MrBeast in Spanish
Hate to analyze it too much, but I love how this joke is crafted.
@@adamnielson42 you probably thought about it longer than me
Didn't expect that last part
And probably the second video too
But you will still get me beast it will just be in different language
The algorithm really treated it like a kid was watching on a dads account because the second the mrbeast videos stopped it immediately went to sports, documentaries, mafia stories, to full on movies.
Then the soft reset brought it back to meme videos for kids
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up a sec, fam! My sensors just detected a gyatt so bussin', it knocked my circuits off kilter! You lookin' like a whole Pixar animation come to life, with those eyes poppin' like anime sparkles and a smile brighter than a million KZhead likes. Your outfit?

You got that floof on point, hair lookin' like a cloud made of rainbows and sunshine. No cap, I'm feelin' all the sus vibes, like we could be the next big TikTok power couple. So, lemme slide in those DMs like a sneaky creeper, cuz your aura got me actin' up like a sussy impostor in Among Us. Wanna squad up and make some skibidi memories tonight?

@@GunsAndAmmo3 This is certainly a comment of all time
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the algorithm realized that he kept skipping all the way to the end of the Mr. Beast videos instead of actually watching them and that's the only reason it started giving him anything else.
I feel like it has to know. If clicking through a video gave watch time that would be big bot industry. A thousand bots clicking through the video every second so that you have like five million hours of watch time after a few actual real life hours? It would be broken
I am pretty sure watch time counts as seconds passed with the player not in pause or seeking, so yes it very much should stop showing you content which you skip.
@@Tzankotz pretty sure Ludwig had a sort of script that tricked youtube into thinking he watched the whole thing. You can see his cursor click somwhere on the title to go to the next video (you don't see what he clicks, just where he clicked since he probably did a window share instead of his usual screen share)
sounds dystopian as hell
@@Karlyr_ He's just pressing the key combo to skip a video instead of clicking the button on screen. (shift+n if you're curious)
the fact that Mr Beast is video #2 and shoved down your throat for 130+ straight videos is actually insane
How?
I mean he is by far youtubes biggest creator obviously they would assume most youtube watchers would like his videos
In fairness to the algorithm, if someone has literally sat down and watched 100 Mr Beast videos in a row, its probably safe to guess that they’d be interested in 101 too. It doesn’t know you’re doing a KZhead Any%, as far as it knows you keep watching because you keep being engaged, and you as a user have never looked up any non-beast related content, so as far as it knows thats all you’re interested in. Since i don’t watch Mr. Beast’s videos i never get those recommendations. It is not unexpected that youtube would promote their most successful creators first in order to encourage viewer retention, and if you never click anything else that can self-reinforce based on the lack of actual human input.
hi
The only reason he got out was cuz he started skipping videos reducing his watchtime
i love that the first video is a heartfelt, genuine, sincere video, and then the last one is just pirated content. nothing else can explain the way youtube has grown so well
I'd argue that the leopard drawing is one of the most heartfelt things I've ever seen on this site actually
Pirated stuff was on youtube since the very beginning, if anything we went right back to its roots
Right? Remember the time you watched tv shows in 4 parts and a slightly trashy crop? Wild times. @@gabrielhicks8043
And then the AI generated short at the end pointing to where the platform is going smh
@@OptionalShark40meow meow meow
13:34 Fun Fact: DDOI is actually blacklisted on the frontpage of youtube, and likely from autoplay recommendations as well. This is because KZhead doesn't want compilation channels to be trending, so they cannot appear on the home page. It might just be that these channels haven't been flagged as compilation channels
Credits: AnthonyPadilla's interview with DDOI
It's ironic that compilations of a compilation channel don't get flagged lol.
Sniperwolf was always Frontpage though lol. And other tiktok reuploaders/compilations

bahaahahahahhahahahaahahha
I will say that although I much preferred the line immediately after the soft reset, it did ruin the science of trying to figure out where KZhead auto play takes you after 1000 videos if left undisturbed.
This was meant to be entertainment first, not really science. The science part was over by the second video, and a lot of things interfered with the "experiment" from then on. Every video should either have been skipped after a set amount of time (for example 10 seconds) or should have been played in full (which is basically impossible in a livestream). Also, no skipping forward in videos to check what's in the middle or end, and no scrolling down the page to check the recommended (which loads comments == engagement).
@@nero3700 I’m just saying I would’ve liked to see how it would’ve played out if we followed one line all the way through was all.
@@VenomousMoses I agree, but I think what they meant is more along the lines of: even if he did keep just the one line, due to him randomly loading comments on some videos, completely skipping some, fully watching others, bouncing around the vid he's watching, etc. it wouldn't be a good test anyway, as it's not just YT feeding him videos, but him telling YT which of the vids he has watched he 'cares' about, or engages in. The best test would be an account like he started with, finding one vid to start at, then just leaving the website to run videos until 1000
@@nero3700since he skipped to the end and played the predetermined auto play, does him not watching the full video still impact the algorithm? genuine question
you will get stuck in movies forever, youtube doesn't recommend you anything other than movies once you are in youtube movies

Now our military has a new torture system, Thanks Lud.
If you thought that was bad, just wait until the YT shorts video
Thanks indeed
If Google didn't have a bunch of personal info about what I like, I guess I'd be watching MrBeast videos and random episodes of the Good Witch instead of videos about One Piece and Pokemon.

it did light up, just go back like 15 seconds
Please we need to see 1000 shorts 💀💀💀 it'll take a lot less tiem but it will also be very traumatic for the eyes
Ive noticed autoplay on my account at least likes to play a bunch of vods, every time i wake up im halfway on a 4 hour long ludwig video
Im pretty sure this is just what the algorithm does after a few autoplays everytime. I fall asleep to my favorite hearthstone creator, end up on hearthstone vods when i wake up. Fall asleep to a random pokemon video, end up on a wolfeyvgc tournament video where he just talks through his run for 2 hours. Fall asleep to Kurzgesagt/Lemmino/Vsauce? End up in the craziest most in depth 4 hour video on the mechanics of a neutron star.
this happens every time i watch a video itll skip to a 3 hour among us vod or moist critikal playing games for 5 hours straight
True
same, I always wake up to a 5-8 hour DougDoug vod or Smallant
Same. I watch asmr and wake up to vods. Unless i specifically play my own playlist.
I remember when I was a kid leaving the autoplay on overnight and I dont remember what I was watching originally, probably some gameplay type content or whatever but when I woke up the next morning it was on a squid disecting video.

@@HuntCares-zo8qx 😂😂😂
There’s so many things the algorithm could theoretically take into account that you just can’t control for. Time of day, when you pause/play a video, how long you pause/play a video, the wifi network you’re connected to (and location), other people also connected to that network, cookies in your browser, etc, etc Fun experiment though
He should have tried this experiment by going into Google Chrome incognito mode, deleting all cookies, or using a different computer. Even if you have recommendations turned off, KZhead is still using cookies to recommend stuff to you.
Could create a virtual machine, because then the only variable that could affect it would be the wifi you're using.
@@CapnFlappyJaw42 general ip location.
5:31 My subscribe button only lights up when Mr. Beast says it 🤣
Doesn't skipping the entire video and not actually watching it affect what it will recommend you?
yes but to be fair a legit run would take at least 17 straight days or about 400 hours of watching KZhead. and that's if you're lucky. you could get stuck in long form media and easily turn 17 into 130
@@SonaLovesick but then it would be legit 🤷♂️
I was thinking the same thing. Best way to do this would to have one the way Lud did it, and one running off screen, then recapping the videos in your watch history
use an extension to speed up the videos by like 100x

7 seasons of that at 83% overall rating on rotten tomatoes... I never even heard of this show. LOL Edit: Drama/Romance, I guess it makes sense then why I haven't heard of this
i really love good witch, i've watched it multiple times and it's a really good feel-good tv series. it's about a (sort of) witch that sometimes just knows what is going to happen before it happens, and she uses that "intuition" to help others. it's hard to explain/describe but i really recommend that show, trust me, you won't regret it!
That cat short had me straight cackling.
Bro fr 😂😂
11:25 it is youtube's idea the base idea it has, he is just laying on us the key points to the most relevant (to the algorithm) videos
Yo someone get this idea to ludwig. Basically it's the Wikipedia game but instead on KZhead. He starts at "Me at the zoo again," but this time he's trying to find his own KZhead Live Stream, he's allowed to click on the recommendations instead of just auto play. But its only the youtube recommendation grid from the end of the video
He literally says he already did that idea at the start of the video
@@jeggalicious what ? what video is it ?
@@ashergoober can't send links, it's titled "I speedrun youtube". He also shows the thumbnail too, when he mentioned it smh.
@@jeggalicious okay thanks brother
He skipped through some and stayed for much longer on others. Pretty sure watch time plays a huge role. Still an interesting watch but i don't know how accurate this video is. You would probably have to watch every video to the end or perfectly skip to end every single time to leave no bias, but thats a crazy ask.
I watched the vod and he also had video history off which definitely destroyed the results
@@Smileyrealhow so?
@@JeskidoYTIf youtube doesn't save any data about the videos you watch, it won't recommend you anything based on that. Ludwig was essentially just getting autoplayed videos similar to the one he was currently watching. His reason for turning it off was because he was getting ludwig related recommendations because of his main channel but realistically he should've just done this in a different browser/incognito mode
@@Smileyreal use a vm for best results
@@SmileyrealI think this changed at some point and they use other factors than just video history. I say this because previously, you could go and wipe all video history and you'd get a "fresh" youtube, like all of the top videos and kids videos and stuff, nothing I normally watch. This no longer works for me, even with zero videos in the history and wiped search history, I still get a very similar set of videos shown to me as before wiping the history.
22:11 i havent laughed SO LOUD in a really long time. this is just fucking hilarious.
lud speedrunning doing the least for a youtube video. bro is just actually watching youtube. and i love it
"we're stuck in mr beast!!" - Ludwig 4:04
Its probably not consistent because you skipped some videos right away, scrolled to the end of the mr beast videos, and actually watched the entirety of some other videos
Watch time also play a huge role so if you skip videos, the algorithm switches things up.
Ludwig knows his videos hit the best at 3 am
Never seen a realer comment
kinda funny how he gets stuck on the movie section for so long and the mr beast 😂
KZhead recommendations growing up was not the storyline i expected
That YT Short at the end got to me ngl over here dying laughing
god the bob and tom show jumpscared me!! my dad listens to that show every single morning, that’s the sound of my childhood
As someone who works in an industry tangentially related to KZhead and content creation (digital marketing, my company mostly focuses on video ads), the algorithm almost certainly takes into account what percentage of the video you've actually watched/let play, so skipping ahead as you're doing might not be the most accurate way of actually "testing the algorithm", but the video was very entertaining nonetheless. I would be really interested in seeing the results if the videos just played all the way through but obviously that would take way too long lol.
Every single night i fall asleep with some youtube video on, and I always wake up 3 hours into a ludwig stream. Thats where youtube takes me.
I love listening to the majority of this without ever looking at the videos. Ludwig’s commentary is peak.
The random cat boxing short at the end actually killed me that shit made me laugh so hard
the short at the end made this video 30x funnier

I don’t get it
@@ryana5435 It's because it's the most nonsense brainrot content that you could ever stumble on that it's funny. Also the fact that it's AI.
I thought about a similar video concept a few months ago ironically, and actually meant to send the idea over your way for thoughts lol basically you and/or another person (BvB style), would log onto a random default hotel computer. And then going onto the untainted YT homepage, without logging into any accounts, and scroll through the home YT feed, skipping any videos you wouldn't watch all the way through, until one person gets to a legitimate video that they would/could watch normally if they came upon it via their usual account homepage feed. Yeah its a Lil tanky n a bit extra in the legwork dept but your video here reminded me of content idea rough drafts 😅😅😂
Bob and Tom used to be based in STL and i have some CORE memories of their show. Theyre hilarious
honestly this is why i dont click on mr beast vids, no matter how interesting they seem. i just dont want that to be my entire feed lol
13:52 Bob and Tom! They’re a Republican radio show in Indiana. They’ve been doing it for decades.
The man just proved the algorithm. If a type of video gets skipped often enough, autoplay picks the next category. Categories are determined maybe based on community interest, or I think more likely is by ad revenue
This was a good video, It reminded me of the Fairly Odd Parents special where they went channel surfing, but a lot more meta zoomer lmao
The cut from 'midlife crisis' to Joe Rogan was a brilliant touch
3:02 youtube(and other google services) can hear what u say and recommend videos based on it
OMG that cat video at the end is GOAT. We must see the whole story of the Revenge Cat!!
Sometimes I use auto play when I’m listening to music, cause I like to add new stuff to my playlist, but every now and then it gives me some random game playthrough since I watch those so much. I personally like that it tries to give you the same content but that’s just cause I use it to listen to music
I don't drink but here's a bad drinking game, drink every time Ludwig says here's my line
Everytime he skips a video😮
That ending was just perfect. That truly encapsulates the weirdness that is KZhead. It's a lawless land out there, ruled by kids molding the algorithm to their will by watching the weirdest shit.
Maybe you could try it again, but this time with a combination of bingo and fewer videos. If you hit a bingo, you win + we all agree that you are a God in everything, and if not, you have to pay with subs. Also, the chat can decide half of the Bingo fields!

It would be a lot better if the recommended videos on the home page updated. It really locks you into the same stuff and if it changes at all its the one video you clicked accidently and it played 2 seconds of and now that channel lives in your recommended forever.

I think he got recommended because he was talking about Mr Breast at the beginning. It's like those recommended ads you get whenever you talk about something particular (like cars, for example)
we genuinely need to get a Ludwig vs Alan on YeahMad

good video Luddy boy, your content is getting better
Bob and Tom are a radio talk show. They broadcast from my local classic rock station
fun fact video 161 the person the documentary is about is my neighbor jared. He recently comitted to duke and moved out there and his family has been living there for a while but still own there house right across from me so its just empty. i used to see him working all the time and i dog sat for his family for a while. He has like a mil on tik tok and is a top prospect for basket ball which is kinda cool.
that last short was INSANE
10:10 “now we’re stuck in actual purgatory” 😂😂😂
The dude at the end jacked Ludwig’s "post a Taylor Swift song with a minute of your own music" play and did it with the Simpsons and a drawing. The ol' yoink and twist.
Isn’t the amount of time you watch a video contribute to the algorithm? So what is the point of him just skipping videos? If he wants to do an actual experiment he should stream the screen of a monitor that plays videos on autoplay and automatically stop when it gets to desired amount of videos watched. Then it would be a proper experiment with all the factors included and would be good content.
Lud said he delivered that so well Like a line, like he is acting A conspiracy has been born
I had this idea a couple a years ago, excactly same thing, starting with the zoo clip. I jumped when I saw this.
The short at the end was my absolute highlight. Jesus christ that sent me off, im wheezing
