The Elusive Cinder 1,328 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 Since I never really log out of YouTube, it remembers my video history, my most watched things and related videos. This can be kind of entertaining, but MLP have taken over! I cant watch a single video without somewhere on the page there being a MLP link. Yesterday I found a particularly jarring (yet entertaining) example, and wondered if anypony else has seen something like this and would like to share? Maybe on some other site? TWILIGHT IS WATCHING YOU! 3 Never quite forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramba2654 602 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 I think that Youtube automatically makes a list of videos that you would probably watch and it adds it to the recommended videos. So if you likes to watch Skate videos, then that Twilight would probably be replaced by a skate video or something. 3 I won't be a complete brony until I get a Thunderlane plushie and go to a convention.

Scootalove 10,689 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 On Youtube, they have a list of recommended videos and videos that you should watch which is usually auto-generated by Youtube. So, the possibility of finding a random video or ponies can happen. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elusive Cinder 1,328 September 4, 2013 Author Share September 4, 2013 I'm not talking random: It's every video. And I don't even usually watch ponies on YouTube very often any more at that. I just burst out laughing at Twilight when she turned up on the 'related videos' thing and thought it was a brilliant picture. Never quite forgotten.

Moonlight 7,286 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 Yep, for the most part, it's the exact same for me as well. Here's a random video I was watching and look what appeared. But to be fair in this case....the person who made the video also does MLP-related things. matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkBrony 379 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 What's weird for me is that on about 1/10 videos I watch (And I watch a LOT of videos every day) I get that 'There's a pony for that' ad. Not that I'm complaining, but does it check my video history, realize that I like MLP, and give me an ad about it? 0_0 ~SparkBrony The Brony Who Does Way Too Much Stuff! Check me out on Fimfiction!

PonyTube.png TWILIGHT IS WATCHING YOU! Yep, from those screenshots, it looks like it's primarily Twilight. It's Twilight Sparkle following you everywhere you go, dude.

Not that I'm complaining, but does it check my video history, realize that I like MLP, and give me an ad about it? 0_0 Yes. Google runs their adsystem and they also happen to own youtube. This becomes especially apparent if you use chrome and a chrome account as it will chase your potential levels of interest in certain ads across multiple sites.

SkyGust 71 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 A bit off topic, but I gotta say, has anyone seen the new feature when you search on Youtube for a ponies name (Twilight Sparkle for example) and when you search, the top of the website will turn, whatever color the pony is you typed in? Try it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarts 1,622 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 Yep, for the most part, it's the exact same for me as well. Here's a random video I was watching and look what appeared. k.PNG But to be fair in this case....the person who made the video also does MLP-related things. You know, with all the crazy stuff going on in those related videos, that Twilight face is perfect for that scenario. I sometimes get pony related videos. Not often though since I don't look up much pony content there. Just music and that's it. IF is best girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostPony750 959 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 (edited) Yep, ponies are everywhere. But what about an easter egg? Write the name of one of the mane six in the searchbar of youtube, like Twilight Sparkle or Applejack and see what happens. Ponies are even invading Japan.

Try it! Yup, same goes for if you try typing in "Ponies". I didn't know what to watch so I just typed that in and went to get some milk. Came back and there were ponies all over my screen. But yeah, same here for how they've taken over my youtube... but lets be honest, they've taken over a lot more than just my youtube lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winona the Dog 1,984 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 YouTube now tracks you're videos based on your interest wether or not you're logged in. After a few videos it'll start recommending videos based off your history. Though Google (YouTube ) has shown interest in the brony fandom multiple times.

~SadisticFluttershy~ 779 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 Are you kidding? It's making youtube a better place! Ummm, in your history if it has even a few pony related videos, other pony videos will show up in your recommendation box. It's like that to me all the time.. mainly cause I watch MLP Videos on a daily basis. Seriously though, it's better than seeing abunch of random crap like Nyan cat or cat videos. Thanks MiniKirby! It's soooooo awesome! "Enough Chitchat time is candy!".- Pinkie Pie. "Storm Chasing is a commitment.

Freewave 1,145 September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 I just get so tired of seeing really silly pony videos with 450,000 views everytime i log on being pushed by youtube. It makes me feel pretty dwarfed in comparison and youtube just promotes what is popular. Hell maybe these guys are paying ytube to advertize their video. Maybe that's the secret to success. Hell if i know. I have made brony music since 2011. I like all kinds of music and genres. I'm sure you'll like some of it.. Here's My YouTube..I have several albums on Bandcamp and Pony.FM. Check out the 20+ Musician project Maressey which I am running. Check out the Brony Music Directory and FimMusic. A portal to all things Brony + Music.

~Silver Essence~ 2,625 September 5, 2013 Share September 5, 2013 Youtube ALWAYS recommends me something pony related all the time. I don't mind, but there are at times when it recommends me something inappropriate like rule 34 stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silanda 24 September 5, 2013 Share September 5, 2013 Yep, ponies are everywhere. But what about an easter egg? Write the name of one of the mane six in the searchbar of youtube, like Twilight Sparkle or Applejack and see what happens. Ponies are even invading Japan. It's not just the mane six. Try searching for Derpy, Cheerilee, DJ Pon3, etc. A heck of a lot of the characters I've tried have changed the colour of the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Posh 360 September 5, 2013 Share September 5, 2013 (edited) This is coming from someone who understands how youtube works, those videos are not random YouTube or Google as some of you may say, added a new feature back in May I beleive it was, that adds videos that are related to other videos you have previously watched. So even if you are on a random video you will get videos that are related to ones you have previously watched. I watch a lot of Pony videos on YouTube, but recently I started watching a lot of tech videos and well now I get random tech videos in random videos. Did no one watch Google I/O back in May, they said they where going to add this. Edited September 5, 2013 by Xelphos Random white text! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJShy 873 September 5, 2013 Share September 5, 2013 I hear ya, but on a different note. I watched one, just ONE Total Drama episode in spanish, and suddenly it is all over my suggestions feed.

Luximus 482 September 5, 2013 Share September 5, 2013 I'm sure that if you watch something like ponies, videos of them will appear after you watched something. Bronies may or may not be taking over the internet, but I don't think YouTube videos are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RrVPfX9cPtw59FpC 1,304 September 5, 2013 Share September 5, 2013 Mwuahahhaha We're taking over! Anyways, It probably had to do with your search history, even if you don't usually watch MLP videos. However, if they're actually this popular, that's awesome! I'm glad more people are able to find out about us! It could be a way for many more members to join!
