I fundamentally do not understand people who watch recommended videos. They are almost never relevant to me. I watch videos on youtube either if they come from channels I have chosen to subscribe to, or specific videos I have been linked to from outside (friends, reddit, hn, etc). The idea that I would watch, say, anti-LGBT videos that were auto-recommended after watching a drag queen's channel just seems silly. Why would I just click into those hateful videos? I didn't want them! So I don't watch them! I'm sympathetic to the idea that borked recommendations algorithms can be frustrating and obnoxious but at the end of the day, every video I watch is a video I _chose_ to watch, and I just choose not to watch garbage. I don't understand why other people seem to find making this choice to be so difficult
