    The irony is thatthe YouTube algorithm thinks that’s what they want to see based on their viewing history…

    My feed is usually pretty rad. I love that they’re adding more small channels to mix, I found a great one the other day that way (Ideal Idea). The only thing I really hate and can’t get rid of is Shorts

    If you don’t like a suggestion, click the dots and pick Not Interested or Don’t Recommend This Channel. It’s easy.

      The YouTube algorithm is garbage. More than once it’s just completely removed channels I watch pretty much daily from my suggestions. The not interested filter is woefully inadequate as they have no idea what the actual reason for disinterest was. I still get 100 flavors of lofi videos in my suggestions despite flagging every single one. YouTube’s interpretation of that? Remove all other forms of music.

        I can’t say I’ve had that same experience. I filtered out the playlist channels and I’m still seeing suggestions from artists I like along with tons of stuff I’m interested in
