just because i listened to a single track from the Elden Ring soundtrack does not mean I’d like 200 ‘ELDEN RING LORE’ videos shoved in my face. None of them even have <10k views - they’re all like less than 1,000 views.
stop recommending ‘AI voice dubs this song’ videos that also have <10k views jesus christ, I don’t want to hear a shitty version of Frank Sinatra singing the End of Evangelion song.
oh wow I looked up a very specific Frasier clip two months ago?? Thanks for recommending nothing but Frasier videos since that I haven’t watched. God forbid I watch a single Jerma clip or I will be inundated with “Jerma talks chat through making thermite” videos for half a year.
To make matters worse, you hit “don’t recommend this video I don’t like this video” and two days later, the very same video pops up again. I’ve now resorted to just “don’t ever recommend this channel to me again” even for small <10k views videos because that seems to be the only way to permanently prevent the same video from showing up at a later date. 
There’s a bunch of categories of videos I’ll only open in a private tab (music, one-off things I’m looking up, anything from a link, youtube’s own recs)
Because of this, youtube does almost mostly recommend videos with topics I’d be interested in, but the videos themselves are almost uniformly bad.
Also my private session’s recs always end up being video game clickbait, simpsons clips, best of whatever music compilations, and celbrity buzzfeed cllickbait.
