> YouTube recommendations quite good

I feel it suffers from "rich is getting richer" phenomena. Once the video start trending, the recommender starts showing it for any search.

Additionally, most things that trend in that way are going to be lowest common denominator crap, or if it's from one of the better channels, broadly accessible stuff that would be a better use of the listener's time as a listicle instead of a 15 minute video.

I wish the recommendations went for the deep cuts instead of the pablum.
