YouTube Is Letting Us Vibe Our Video Feeds, and I’m Liking It

The mobile app is giving users more control of the videos they get.

Let’s face it — we love scrolling through videos. Maybe you’re OK with what YouTube feeds you, maybe you’re not. Either way, you’ve now got more control over it.

YouTube this week added a feature to the mobile app home page that enables you to create your own video feeds for whatever topics you want. The feed helps you home in on the subjects that appeal to you instead of necessarily relying on the algorithm. The custom feed option appears as a plus sign on the horizontal menu at the top of the app’s home screen.

YouTube said in its announcement that it wants to help users “dive straight into” their favorite content. “We know that viewers come to YouTube with incredibly unique interests, moods, topics to explore, and favorite ways to watch,” the YouTube team said.

The horizontal menu is also new. It includes tabs for your custom feeds, subscribed channels, music and live streams. There’s also a Music & TV button for people who subscribe to YouTube TV or Primetime Channels.

To see it for yourself, go to the app’s home screen on your phone. At the top, you’ll see the menu. If you click on Subs, you’ll see your subscribed channels. The Music tab will show videos from your favorite artists, and the Live button will show livestreams from your favorite creators. The More button shows a menu of YouTube features.

But the most intriguing addition was the custom feed feature, and I gave it a go.
