YouTube is lacking video responses – manually, automatically, or semi-automatically selected videos that cover the same topic.
For example, this could be done through tags. You’re watching “Baby Driver: What You Need to Know About Edgar Wright’s Style”, and right away you get tags “edgar wright,” “kinopoisk,” and a link to “Shaun of the Dead” on Youtube movies.
Even better, if these recommendations could change as you watch the video. You’re watching “Shaun of the Dead”, and immediately a link is adjusted. Of course, the video’s author could do this, but they’re almost always too lazy. It should be possible for everyone to do this, and either the author of the video approves it, or it’s approved by YouTube’s smart system, unless the author has specifically disabled it.
It seems like everyone praises YouTube’s recommendation system, but to me, it seems pretty ineffective. It could be much better. Probably, three things are interfering: optimizers, volumes, and clutter.
