When we were in Chengdu 4 years ago this time of year, the air was really bad. One thing we noticed is that all the malls and indoor spaces were really HOT. Maybe if they turned it down a bit...

I'm so happy we have at least some snow here in Shenyang. The air pollution may be also worse but there are also really sunny clear days. The algorithm I think will keep a mistery for us 😁

You are right, I have seen an increase in ads lately. As a fellow KZitem video maker I suggest you try shorts. I posted a short video about noodles in Chongqing and got over 20,000 views and 60 new subs from it. Shorts are easy to make with your phone and seem to get a heavy push. Try some.

All these social media platforms like YTB, Facebook, now inst too, etc. they all have these algorithms to decide what we users want to see, and very often it doesnt match at all. For some people, it just creates echo chambers and even causing social unrest like what FB did in US. It really needs to be controlled

The feed has become the same videos over and over again, often ones I've already watched. It's getting to the point it's like the Netflix algo where they really want to push certain content so the suggest it for every conceivable category. The only way I've found to see a lot of new videos is to go directly to the subscriptions tab. Otherwise I miss videos released this week for KZitem pushing videos from years ago (half of which I've already seen or have saved)

Greatings from BC, Canada. We are now struggling with the second wave. Prices of groceries had shot up too. Guess that life is like a roller coaster these days. Stay strong and positive! Guess nothing is free, 😔 I can no longer play music videos smoothly from my playlist, too many adverts and it would cut off after 2-3 videos.... then it will stop after each video. Guess YT is pushing hard for it's music apps!

about Chengdu's air, it's mainly the geography. for starter, it's a basin located right next to tibetan plateau. moisture and air tend to get trapped there, hence less sunny days. in summer, it gets southwest seaonal wind from indian ocean which blows the air particle produced by Chengdu into northern/central China plain. Therefore, seemiingly less air polution. in winter time, Chengdu get northeast seasonal wind which blows dust from Loess plateau in the north of Chengdu into the basin. Plus, winds from northeast can't dissipate the air polution because of Yunnan-Guizhou plateau at the south of Chengdu. To be frank, air circulation makes the air polution worse in many parts of China. Northern China and central China plain gets it the worst. I lives in the coastal south, the winds just blow everything away into the sea...

I used to go on YT and be excited to see new and unexpected content. But now all I see is things I have subscribed to and things related to what I've seen before. The spontaneity is gone. Now all I do is actively see out and watch different things just to bring in some variety into my feed. I feel sorry for people who are now just locked into one content bubble.

Austin - I hear you man! Up here in the northeast it's the same, just much colder! I know you've had some respiratory issues before, and I know the feeling all too well. Please take care of yourself and stay healthy. In regards to KZitem, no it's not just you. Bit by bit KZitem is getting worse. I used to play vids to go to sleep to, now when I play a length video ads seem to pop up every 5 - 10 minutes at a higher volume than the vid and wake me up.

In the past month, for the first time, I've been considering getting youtube premium. I wasn't sure if there were more ads lately or if they've just been getting more annoying, but I guess I'm not alone. It'll have to wait though, because the costs associated with getting back home to China are just piling up right now. (Flight booked for Dec 6, fingers crossed! I don't even care that it's smog season, I can't wait to breathe that filthy air.)

KZitem eats up and spits out the small frys. I have got most of my fellow China KZitemrs subbed and clicked the bell for notification, but yet my recommendations are always things from massive channels and literally like 10 of their videos for every 1 of the videos I'm actually subbed to... KZitem does need some competition, but not things like Tiktok.

Agreed - small channels are really shafted by KZitem these days. It's become a 'pay to play' system. I've seen so many ads from small channels lately that just seem desperate to be contenders...they're PAYING KZitem to push their videos....something's wrong with that

My wife is from Chengdu and going to China is tough even for residents who have been out of the country. Her niece was returning from Canada and when she got back she had to quarantine in a hotel selected by the gov't for 2 weeks and then quarantine at home for 2 weeks and they do check up on you and you have to pay for the hotel and the meals. Besides the weather this time of year sucks. Late summer to early fall is best. Good luck Chengdu is a great place I tried to talk my wife into moving there after I retired but her 2 kids are here and she wants to be near them.

@@austinguidry2 maybe you could start a new series talking about famous crime stories in China. Don’t always have to be violence cases, there are also a lot of weird, funny crimes on the news. You could just brief the case, and talk about how normal people feel about it, what kind of efforts the police made to finally catch their guy, and talk about what people could do to avoid getting involved in similar situations.
