Talking with friends: some report most recommendations align with their interests, even those that are surprising because they haven't expressed interest in that category (hadn't yet watched or liked a video in the theme). However like you other friends report routinely aweful recommendations across the board. My experience is in the middle somewhere.

I wish there were a way to see how it places you in various demographics, with a corresponding 'slider' to move yourself in/out of topics.

Most or my recommendation are OK, but after 10 or so, Youtube starts recommending MMA videos, football, the latest K-Pop song, "I am pregnant!" trending crap. None of it is relevant, I keep telling it I am not interested yet Youtube keeps recommending trending topics.

It just doesn't bloody care.

I added another reminder on my todo list to get rid of Premium and go rogue. My biggest issue is watching it on Android TV and the iPad, I will need a good adblocking setup, no way in hell I will watch ads.
