    I think a lot of people who complain about the algorithm don’t actually have that many subscriptions set up. So there isn’t really much of a guide for the algorithm on what to show people. I never get sports videos recommended or conspiracy theory videos because I never watched that kind of thing.

    My subscriptions are all science channels, and people building their own computers. The algorithm knows what stuff to recommend me and what not to because I’ve told it.

      That might be it actually. I probably have hundreds of subscriptions. I also make sure to like and dislike stuff to let it know what’s up. 🙂👍
