Yep. YouTube’s algo is predatory. It’s literally hunting for how to glue you to the screen. I often watch part of a single video and then I’m rushed with dozens that are highly rated but that exact topic.

It chases you too because videos are embedded on websites.

The only thing I found it doesn’t (for me anyway) suggest more of is movie trailers. I never seem to be bombarded with them, and often check a trailer before I watch something.
