I did a weeklong purge of everything last year to dial in the algorithm and it was pretty ok but the last 3 days it has been just complete trash from recommending reactionaries as well as some guy with 50 views playing a game I've never heard of. Is this just me or did they fuck with something

    YouTube is now putting anything your mouse paused over into your watch history, and it's fucking up my suggestions badly

      That might actually be it because I give videos the 2 second hover but also that's so incredibly dumb I hover because I'm not sure what it is and when I don't click through that'd have to rate it super low instead of "show him more of this one times he'll bite"
