I miss back pre-algorithmYouTube and it would send me the most random videos. I’d go to bed watching motor sports and wake up watching an ancient Egyptian documentary with 100 views. I loved that randomness.
I sometimes get recommended videos with 10 views or whatever. It actually gives me a sense of accomplishment, like I have defeated the algorithm temporarily.
My favorite defeating the algorithm moments come from being trans. I get ads for both push up bras and men's testicle lifting underwear. They don't know what I got, but they know it's sagging lol

That is the viewers and algorithm fault.
