I can’t speak for TikTok (as I’m not a user), but I haven’t met anyone that would consider YouTube’s recommendation algo any good at all. I believe most users share the experience of pausing their scrolling to deliberately say “Don’t recommend this channel”, or “I’m not interested in this”. Recommendations have to be pretty terrible for users to break the apathetic endless scrolling motion they’ve been conditioned to embrace, and make several distinct and deliberate clicks amounting to the provided feedback, “stop annoying me with how much you suck”
