Not here, it isn't.
> So if you're a techie/nerd/hacker you'll eventually run into all of them organically directly via Youtube recommendations instead of relying on word of mouth.
Word-of-mouth still counts for a lot; and don't forget that if you follow a link someone sends you to a YT video then YT will (probably!) make recommendations for other videos from the channel that made the video you got linked to - so even though you ascribe it to "the algorithm", don't forget that it is influenced by more than just your Like/Dislike buttons.

I never used the like/dislike button but I imagine yotube's algo simply checks your view time on which types of videos, and recommends you similar videos that others like you have also enjoyed.
