There is a similar problem with the YouTube recsys on cheaply generated videos (e.g. a physics + 3d rendering model to generate colorful videos of Spiderman and Batman driving colliding cars).

See this older piece by Natasha Lomas on Tech Crunch:

I watched 1,000 hours of YouTube Kids’ content and this is what happened… http://tcrn.ch/2iPXpIA

Somewhat similar, I'm not really a tik-tok-fan, but after watching a LinusTechTips video with "KallMeKris" I was hooked on her content (one woman plays like 20 characters, yea yea judge me later :P ).

Anywhoo I was surprised to find close to 20 Youtube accounts that only has like stitched-together 1 hour videos of all her content. With non a none negligible view count.
