Why do they recommend the same five videos of a series (like Barefoot Contessa) over-and-over when I've watched them already? I don't want to say "not interest

Why do they recommend the same five videos of a series (like Barefoot Contessa) over-and-over when I've watched them already?
I don't want to say "not interested" because I don't know what that means... I want a feature where it's like "more like this, but not this one in particular."
It's surprising they've been under Google's control for a very long time and yet their main recommendation algorithm still leaves a lot to be desired.
- NoodleIncident 8y agoIf I remember correctly, the "not interested" UI has an option for "I've already seen the video"
- thrusong 8y agoThat just makes it seem like their algorithm is powered by bad code or bad management, or both. They know what I've watched. They should know if a video is likely to be watched repeatedly (ie. classifying songs/music videos differently from other content).
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoOk, but why? If there is one thing the algorithm should know it's which videos you've already watched!
