youtube is fine as a video host but it's awful as a discovery platform. look what it puts on the front page when you're logged out sometime.

Never log out, my algorithm is tuned to me quite well. Even get very small creators suggested to me.

Definitely seems to be out of the norm though.

I suspect you need quite narrow tastes for the algorithm to be able to figure it out, like if you watch sports videos it's probably just gonna keep feeding your sports videos forever, because that's trivially easy and works.

i know i've had times were i got a bit too lax with the kinds of minecraft videos i watched and i could feel the algorithm desperately wanting to feed me standard clickbaity shouty videos, and its disappointment when i recoiled from that.

Tech, games and science. It sometimes shoves in other content, but good other content.

My YouTube frontpage is actually empty. Might be due to the various browser extensions I'm using, not sure which one though.
