My YouTube feed went from 30 cooking videos a week to 2 after one click, and I can prove it
Three weeks ago I noticed my YouTube home page was almost all cooking videos. Like 30 out of 40 tiles. I was barely watching them, just clicking off after a few seconds each time. Then I got annoyed and hit the 'not interested' button on one video, a guy making a 12 hour stew. I did that maybe 8 more times over two days. By day 5 my feed was mostly woodworking and old car stuff, which is what I actually watch. The algorithm didn't just drop cooking, it almost erased it completely. Has anyone else seen one topic vanish like that after a handful of clicks?
