I wish youtube had a way to directly and instantly influence the algorithmically created view.
For example. I like all those electronics, physics and music theory videos, but after weeks of same old same old, I sometimes crave for something completely different.
I would like to be able to see an orthogonal view to what I usually get just to be able to break out of that self reinforcing recommendation loop.
I could search for stuff I am not interested in and watch videos I don't like just to reset the assumption youtube has about the videos I want to watch but that is tedious and probably does not what I want.

Downside is that youtube doesn't count that as me having seen the video (even when logging in in the XBMC youtube app). So I get the same videos recommended for weeks. Literally the same; not just similar content. Makes discovering new things really hard.
