Really? I found the algorithm had really gone to shit maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Half my recommendations were stuff I’d already seen and another quarter were shorts.
Yeah I just switched to Piped/Tubular/Grayjay; you sub to who you want; no recommendations. IF someone is good enough to watch, they’ll collab with their friends and you can grow that way.
The best part is, I run out of content, and I go do other things.
When subscribing does nothing and changing the bell too.
I have some Youtubers who make a video a month or once a year.
I have to follow them on discord to get the new video because youtube won’t show it to me even though I have selected the highest notifications only for them.
I very rarely manually subscribe or unsubscribe now, it just picks up on what I watch generally.

Since then I’m fully subscription based.
Resist the algorithms, we must
