    As far as i know, that is for the ad algorithm, not for youtube

    I dont understand why you cant choose what things you want to be recommended to you

      I’m asking myself this question for many years. Especially since YT videos are categorized to a degree. Give users control over keywords, both to like more of them, and to filter certain ones out. Obviously not perfect either because not everything is going to be properly categorized & tagged, but it would be so much better than the current mess where some brain dead algorithm tries to figure out what I like.
