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
I mentioned and vaguely described a video I saw, in a Hexbear comment, without linking to it or rewatching it, and 20 hours later that exact video from a series with hundreds of very similar videos showed up in my YouTube recommendations. No other videos from that series have shown up in my feed for months, and it was not close to the most popular video from the series. It was definitely chrome reading my inputs.
