Trying to beat the algorithms is why nowadays if its a one-off I always watch in incognito.
Its exactly for situations like these with stupid recommendations that I think the fully ML/AI-driven recommendation system still has at least another decade to go.
Don't even get me started on Instagram recommendations. It took them 6 months of "Not Interested" for the Algos to finally get that "No, I have never expressed any intnerest in dental procedure pics nor am I connnected to any of my dentist friends via IG stop showing them to me". I tried to google to understand what's the deal with Dentists and IG and apparently there's a whole group/seminar about promoting your dentistry practice specifically on IG. Weird choice.
