I see, interesting. Thank you for explaining!
I feel like I must be one in a million, because I actually think the algorithm is being pretty good to me. It's giving me so many interesting new suggestions and my Watch List keeps building up to where I will never have time to catch up and I just keep adding more and more.
I guess I've just been very disciplined in watching videos that are interesting to me, and not allowing anyone to watch their shit on my account. If they do, I remove that history.
I think a lot of people who complain about the algorithm don't actually have that many subscriptions set up. So there isn't really much of a guide for the algorithm on what to show people. I never get sports videos recommended or conspiracy theory videos because I never watched that kind of thing.
My subscriptions are all science channels, and people building their own computers. The algorithm knows what stuff to recommend me and what not to because I've told it.
That might be it actually. I probably have hundreds of subscriptions. I also make sure to like and dislike stuff to let it know what's up. 🙂👍
