>Yep, for some reasons the recommendation engines seem to have become “oh you glanced at this post for 2 second or you watched a single video, this must be exclusively what you want”

Worse than that, at times my home page feed has been 5-10% "Here's a video you've already watched all the way through. Want to watch it again?" recommendations. Like YT can see I've watched the video - why are so many videos I've watched being "recommended" for me?

Oh man, I think I had a subscription to HBO through YouTube

Then HBO did a machine gun fire of price increases so I cancelled.

For the next few weeks every single YouTube recommended video was an HBO show/movie.
