Improving recommendations? All I'm seeing is a complete deterioration of youtube's recommends since the glory days of the early 2010s.

How about stop spamming me CNN, SNL, Late Night Show ( kimmel, john oliver, etc )? I've yet to accidentally click on these links/channels in all my years using youtube and yet, I still see them every day? Why?

I've pretty much given up on recommendations and just directly go to the channels I want to watch. There was a time ( early 2010s ) when youtube recommends was great and it was actually fun going down the youtube recommends rabbit hole. Now it's just corporate shilling. Just like google search and its incredible decline.

You guys aren't going to improve anything because you don't have competition.
