YouTube is a popular video streaming platform worldwide. You might also watch different videos on YouTube. Till now, YouTube’s recommendation system worked automatically. This system used to see what kind of videos and content you like to watch. Accordingly, similar content and videos were suggested in your feed. However, watching the same content again and again can be boring.

It often happens that there are a lot of videos in your feed but you do not like any of the content. But this will not happen now. The new feature on YouTube will change this whole picture. The new feature will give users the option to create a feed of their choice. When users create their own feeds, algorithms will not be needed. Also, users will get the opportunity to see different types of content in their created feed.

Follow these steps to create your custom feed on YouTube
According to the information given by YouTube, now users will see a custom feed chip near the home option. After tapping on this option, a text box will open on the screen. In this, users will have to tell what kind of content they like to watch. In this you can mention any special topic or big idea.

Google will also help you in this by giving suggestions. Next, YouTube’s AI system will create a custom feed for you based on the prompt you provide. Users can edit this prompt at any time. They will also be able to add topics of their choice in it.

There will be these limitations on custom feed
YouTube has also imposed some limitations on custom feeds. The company says that an account will be able to keep only one custom feed active at a time. That is, users have not been given the option to create different feeds according to their mood and switch between them. A time limit has also been kept for this.

Custom feeds will expire after 30 days of being inactive. Apart from this, the option to create a custom feed will be available only to those users who have Search History and Watch History turned on in their account. There is another limitation related to availability. Currently, this new feature has been rolled out only for US users. People who are signed in to their account and have selected the English language.

Will this affect creators?
Whenever YouTube makes any changes to its homepage, it definitely impacts the creators. Now, this new feature could be a big boost for creators who make longer videos. Now, when users select the topics of their choice, accounts that create longer videos will start appearing in the feed again.
