Probably. But pretty much anything they recommend is junk, so... That's where the author may have a point. If you don't understand your AI algorithm anymore, it's hard to improve it or even realize how wrong it is. AI is generally good at steering the masses into a couple of "averaged" directions. At the individual level though, it's often crap, unless you are the perfect stereotype that the algorithms assumes you to be.

What's good for you is not the same as what's good for Youtube. Youtube wants to maximize watch time at all costs. Their algorithms is probably very good at that.
