This is interesting -- I never would have suspected seeing the channel linked above (h3h3productions) on a HN post. Back to the point, YouTube has always had a problem with algorithms. It's fun to see new trends on YT from time to time, but not consistently for 3 months. There's no filtering out video suggestions, if for example you are only interested in technology. Likewise, on the YouTube trending tab, it's almost guaranteed you'll see CNN, BuzzFeed, TBS, VEVO every day. Instead of "Trending", I'd like to see an "Explore" tab that is personalized based on my _specific interests_, not the assumed interests gathered from the videos I've watched. Edit: I now realize that this isn't comment isn't directly related to the video, but I the link above shows that YouTube hasn't been strict enough on their policies. The people who make these toy channels aren't contributing to the YouTube community -- they're just cluttering it with unoriginal videos that miraculously make it to millions of user feeds.
