Huh?! I despise their recommendation algo. So much so I've stopped clicking on even mildly-interesting-looking vids on my YT (Premium) home page.

I watched one, ONE, video about James Randi; the next day half the recommendations were clips about him, most from...I need a name for those channel operators who re-post other peoples vids just for impressions. "Scumbags"? "A-holes"?

But I digress.

I click on one British historian and see 10 videos from other British historians the next day. I click on a gay comedian's video, and see 10 other gay comedian videos. Wait a day and I'll see gay British historians' videos! WTF?

I used to spend several minutes during each session selecting "Not interested" and "Do not recommend" to tweak the algo and I don't see any proof that it works.

I just ignore the home page these days. Much like I do Twitter and Reddit...
