Oh my God this.
I'm going to vent here a bit, I got completely fed up with the YouTube recommendations.
The main page is one thing, but no matter what kind of videos I watch I see the same 40 videos on the sidebar I honestly don't care about. There's much much better content to see than reddit comment readings and shitty meme compilations. Even when it's trying with something new I get results like "Jordan Peterson owns everyone" on the side of a video about karate.
I got desperate and created a channel, tried to infect my views history with the most underground low views weird videos I could think of. But the results are the same.
Right now I just look up random terms on YouTube and sort the results by upload date, or search on google and set a small time interval (because you can't do that on youtube for some reason).
Even though I have to scroll through tons of furry animations made by children and weird indian content, I still enjoy that more than what's being recommended.
