Google Chrome's FLOC I believe sorts people into 5000 person groups with similar interests. I assume google picked this number for a reason. I imagine you can probably sort the world's population into groups of 5000 people with almost exactly the same interests and motivations.

Whatever they started changing in 2016 has been making the recommendations less and less personally relevant and increasingly generic and boring. Probably helping a whole lot of people spend less time on YouTube though.
