The front page if you open the site and don't have anything for it to steal from you you get a message asking for you to search something so it can flood the front page with algorithm related videos from the search. It wasn't always like this, you used to open the youtube front page and get videos of shit from the day that had nothing to do with what you like or what it think you liked.

I typed in Vegy and now my front page is full of fucking Vegeta memes!

It's all catered to my tastes. I'll take it. It's better than random videos that I probably won't like.

I just wish it wouldn't shove a million videos in my face if I watch something new.

This week I watched a specific video on how to use a potter's wheel. I learned what I wanted to learn. Now like 1 out of every 4 videos in my feed are pottery channels with next to no viewers. Please stop. I keep saying do not recommend in the app but they keep coming.

I will deliberately log out of my account sometimes when looking up a niche video just to stop similar things from flooding my feed. The only way I know to prevent this.

Whenever I don't want something to fuck up my algorithms (like all of the weird videos that get posted here), I just open it in an incognito tab. That's not logged in by default

But then it requires logging in for sensitive content :/

you can also open up your watch history and delete specific videos from it, this helps stop related stuff from appearing

There's truth to this

Honestly I hardly ever see "Youtuber thumbnail face" outside of videos complaining about it lol
