Personally my problem is that it's not just the topic I'm interested in, it's also the presentation (therefore the channel), and sometimes I watch videos outside my usual channels because I have some specific interest. The recommendations then go ham for those one-off channels and other channels I've never heard of. I refuse to even watch the unheard of channels because I know there are videos on the channels I DO watch that I haven't watched yet and I want those recommended, 9/10 unknown channels I end up not liking and watching them makes even more noise. I don't watch anything politically sensitive but I can see how this system ends up in dangerous territory.
