Youtube feed (recommendations).

Why does it suck so much? You click on ONE single meme video and you are going to be clicking "Not interested" and "Don't recommend this channel" forever. This is just ridiculous. Any way to make it better?

Remove your history, watch full public domain movies, keep it up until youtube starts recommending the latest released movies that only stay up for a day.

Because it's curated by an editorial staff that hates everyone not in the socialist left....not joking

Isn't the point of being logged in that you get GOOD recommendations? It's Google, I'm sure they are capable enough.

I never go through recommendations from AI. Google ads, Youtube recommendations and/or TV commercials are completely useless for me. They can't (couldn't) steer my choices with an invisible collar around my neck.

Even in Steam, i don't remember a game which i bought just because Steam recommended it. Nearly all of them was manually found, in my case. The exceptions are those which are recommended by my ACTUAL Steam friends.

lol no.
It just shows more of the same tagged stuff. If you watch one political cringe vid, it'll throw your recommended feed full with it.
Preferably stuff that pays for ad spots, no matter if it's even more cringe than the rest. Google hasn't been about quality for quite a while now.

You can game it a little. But to get good accurate algorithm results you basically need a separate account for each theme of video you're looking for.
A music video account, movie account, gaming account, "news" account, science account. etc.
