It's a result of things getting worse. In an effort to stop abuse and increase drive to sponsored creators, YouTube committed a cardinal sin with respect to their discovery algorithm. They made things worse. Discovery on YouTube is now comically difficult, getting out of your filter bubble means making bizarre searches and filter edge cases, otherwise you see the same 15 videos weekly. They've failed to filter the hate content they intended to eliminate, they've failed to improve their curated content volume, and discovery remains bound and gagged in the back of Ad monetization's sedan. If you were here in 2010 it's worse now. Privacy / safety / predictability, I guess, but the magic is all gone. YouTube could use an [adult swim] concept. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. YouTube.
