To add to this... maybe YouTube could build a concept of bring your own algorithm or "curators" where I can follow a curator who either manually, or by using their own algorithm creates their own unique feed that I might enjoy more than YouTubes default. Maybe kind of like a spotify playlist or something. The curators could get a small piece of the ad revenue from videos they recommend as a sort of referral fee. This could also probably be done by an external service like a Piped, but they could instead just show their own ads instead of getting the referral fees.
