YouTube has far bigger issues in how it handles copyright claims. Right now a firm can unilaterally shutdown any channel and abuse of the system is a daily occurrence. Another issue is in how they're now demonetizing any piece of content that mentions anything remotely controversial, making it even less profitable to do any kind of journalism. Want to talk about the Kurds in Syria? Be prepared for having the video be immediately demonetized. The recommender system comes far third in this list, in my opinion.
