In fairness to the algorithm, Autism, ADHD, and OCD have significant core presentation overlap, and often get talked about in the same spaces online. There's probably a high relation in their searches for the topics.

Doesn't stop the Youtube algorithm from easily being the worst of the major social media sites though.

Are you guys sure that the algorithm’s goal isn’t to shove down your throat a slightly related topic to make you exposed to it, in case you’ll like it? There are a few interests of mine which I found after clicking some recommended video after resisting it for a month.

The "algorithm" isn't some simple KNN. It has many people working on it, so by now it should at least grasp the difference between two topics that are similar and two topics that are the same.
