Yea, their algorithm is terrible compare to decades ago. It recommended a video that I fully watched a 45-min video an hour before the recommendation. When I saw it in the suggested to watch, I was confused because I did watch this and thought that it might be a second video. I checked my Watch History, yep it is the exact same video I watched already and yet YouTube algorithm decides that I didn't. I am staying on YouTube because it is one of the most accessible site for Deaf users as they offers closed captioning/subtitle services. And I am fortunate that lot of content creators have the option enabled. I preferred professional captioning over auto-captioning but not every content creator could afford such a service. In YouTube, I don't rely on their algorithm to tell me the best video to watch since their algorithm is shit. Instead I relies on content creator's community page and word-of-mouth to expand my viewing and subscriptions. Their algorithm kept recommending me Classically Abby (Ben Shapiro's sister) channel every chance they get and I hardly ever watch political stuff on YouTube.
