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.

I know YT introduced some feature that was meant to give a bump to low-view, low-follower count channels as a 'community service' kinda "Oh look how we're helping small aspiring content creators" kind of thing. Usually one sub-1000 view video per refresh of the home page. But they are never relevant so idk what's the point. Not even a pity click from me. Fuck yt
