i noticed recently YT has been suggesting micro-small channel(<1000 subscriber) to me, not sure if this is good thing.

The real question: Are the recent recommendations better than previously? Example: If the recommendation engine (presumably driven by some kind of AI/LLM at this point) better understands the content of videos, it can make better recommendations. If anything, it seems logical that smaller channels would begin to appear on your YouTube feed, as long as the content is highly quality and matches your interests.

It's both good and bad: Sometime it suggest some small channels about some niche topics that i found very interesting.

But i don't like how aggressive it is with suggestion. If i search some random topic, my newsfeed will be flooded with all videos about that topic many days later. So sometime i have to use different profile just to not "contaminate" the algorithm.
