Absolutely spot on! Glad to see I am not the only one pondering about it. It has gotten so bad that I try to log out or use incognito to find new stuff. Tiktok on the other hand is amazing at surfacing stuff that I am actually find interesting.

Personally I think YouTube is only showing me what it knows for sure I am interested in vs TikTok actually trying to explore and exploit what I might be interested in.

Youtube is showing me a lot of stuff I don't want to see. I frequent a bunch of genres, mostly tech and games. But I got a lot of recommendations for things like fashion and influencer type channels, which I find really weird because I always take "do not recommend channel" or "I don't want to see this" - yet I still get them.
