Honestly, no. Lately I regularly get videos with less than 100 views (sometimes as few as 1) usually someone’s homemade music or lately someone driving a car on a track. It’s not the majority of my recommendations at all, but I’d never see stuff like this recommended before a few months ago.

I've been getting very low view-count videos lately too, but they're at least tangentially related to whatever I've been watching. I'll watch a video about Doctor Who, then I'll get some random person's episode review or convention recap. This never happened before.

Some are alright, some are just weird, and some are unpleasant hatespeechy screeds, but I haven't had even a single shock video recommendation so far.

I believe I read somewhere that they changed this a few months ago, along the lines of promoting new content or something. For me, I've been 100% uninterested so far.

Same pattern for me. Keep getting videos with nearly no views and occassionaly I comment on them and get real feedback from the creator.

Definitely an odd experience.

Same here, I did some NBA research yesterday and was served low view count videos (some as low as 700 views) for popular players and topics.
