During the last few months, YouTube has consistently recommended me videos I wasn't interested in (to put it in polite terms), in spite of the fact by now Google knows enough about me to answer quite reliably what I'm likely to be interested in. The only explanation that I can find is that their need to show me specific videos (what do they call it nowadays? “sponsored content”?) prevails over other considerations.
