Title: I get that YouTube and virtually all social media sites want to maximize clicks. I get that YouTube really doesn&#x27;t give a rat&#x27;s ass about what I want in that context: they think it&#x27;s worth far more to override my preferences and add all kinds of channels to my feed than I want. But if you have direct knowledge of the algorithm, please tell me why I can watch a video to the end, then have it recommended for days, weeks, or months after, even when I have dutifully upvoted or commented. What&#x27;s in it for YouTube? Just because I liked a video by Kyle Kulinsky or Jordan Peterson in 2022 doesn&#x27;t mean I&#x27;m still dying to watch it in 2023. And if you want to force shit down my throat, why give up valuable screen real estate to videos I already saw?
