What is with Youtube's dogshit recommendations (hexbear.net)

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.

Have you clicked on any YouTube links with trackers attached after the "?" in the link? I clicked on a bunch posted in here and Reddit as part of an experiment, and it messed up my recommendations for weeks.

Yes but I always open it on private mode. And most of the time it’s on my phone and I never log onto anything lol
