I am tired of getting recommendations mostly made either of corporate giants AND videos with sub 100 views from channels I haven’t ever seen on topics I’ve never touched. I want broaders topics, but I get recommended exactly what I don’t want to see: startup creators and huge entities “creators”. I want medium sized ones. The ones where they’re not just pumping content out for profit and/or propaganda, but have the deep polish. I get everything I don’t. Users should be able to opt into what size of a creator they want to see. I bet there are people who may wish to only see tiny creators or maybe only corporate, or even all. But the current system makes it so I don’t find stuff I want to see. :/
I just use Freetube to follow my subs. I would never trust a company like Google to show me pushed content.
