When you sign in, you can view your history and remove things you don't want the algo to work on.
Here's what to do instead: Sign in, and use your account to curate what you want to see. As you say, music, education, and for me, it's cookingtube, some non-toxic video game people for sim games and the like, etc.
And my algo recommendations are wonderful. The biggest issue is it forgetting about cool channels and hiding them, and I don't use the bell because I hate notifications, but generally speaking it does a great job.
But if you want to watch something that you DO NOT want the algo matching on: Open a private tab (or clean out your history).
It's actually not bad to keep it under control.
Oh, and when Youtube drops a redpill propaganda video in, or something similar, (it always will try to indoctrinate you into a radical ideology, no matter what), make sure to use the menu and tell it to fuck off and never show it again.
I've got it trained now. No politics! No radicalism! Just good, relaxing, well-made content.
