  1. Honestly I can't say I've noticed this phenomenon. Not all the videos on my feed are of interest to me, but at least I can understand where they came from. I, like a lot of people, have recently looked up a few things about Baldur's Gate 3. And now I'm seeing more BG3 content on my feed. I keep up on news about World of Warcraft, and follow some of the big name players. I frequently see Asmongold (a popular WOW youtuber) recommended in my feed, but I don't enjoy his content. I understand why it's there, though Everything in my feed, while not necessarily of interest to me, at least makes sense why it's there. I'm not getting completely random recommendations, like how to milk goats, or something. I do enjoy content about the inner workings of YouTube, so your video here was of interest to me too. I like to watch the Spiffing Brit and how he completely breaks the YouTube algorithm, so I suspect that's why your video got recommended to me. I do subscribe to YouTube red, if that matters. They may be using a different algorithm for paid users, to ensure we don't get frustrated with the service and stop paying? Also, idk if this is just for red members too, but at the top of my feed are keyword bubbles so I can narrow things down like you said, based on my recent viewing. Like if I really want to only listen to my creepypastas, I can click the bubble that says "creepypastas" and it'll only show me videos in that genre. It'll usually have things like creepypastas, world of warcraft, gaming, crafting, and stuff like that for me.
