I'm not who you're replying to, but at least for me, I've found a way of keeping the recommendations on check. https://i.imgur.com/XIRW4U2.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/XIRW4U2.jpeg When opening videos that are sent to me by others, I always use a private window, so my main account is pretty low "variance". When I find a creator I like, I do a "fake binge", by queuing all their recent videos and some old ones too and playing them unattended. I also try to minimize my use of the recommendation sidebar, since it usually shows content related to the current video rather than the more general recommendations of the home page. When something foreign sneaks its way to my home page, I immediately click "not interested", paying attention to not hover the thumbnail. Overall, Youtube has got me trained pretty well, but at least I get some nice recommendations out of it, so much so in fact that over half the recommendations I get are usually videos I have already watched (even if Youtube thinks I haven't yet for whatever reason).
