Like it's always been shit, but at least it has some resemblance to the content I watch. But now I'm getting recommendations for videos with like 60-400 views from random channels of people who forget they opened up their cameras. Or sometimes it's some old lady speaking a foreign language about who knows what. Or it's some kid recording their friends during PE class. Or it's some vlog from a guy in Idaho going camping.
Part of me suspects that they've also considered the chance of creators getting large enough to actually put pressure on youtube. I mean there was a few "big creator quits youtube" stories recently.
