    Youtube has just one priority, it wants you to watch as much monetised content as possible. If you watch and engage with those types of videos, it’ll suggest them to you.

    I don’t, and I never see them recommended either - here’s my youtube homepage right now.
    DIY, electronics, cooking, gaming, science, with some weeb stuff sprinkled in - exactly what I’d expect.

      I think the most interesting thing is that you don’t see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.
