the youtube recommendation algorithm really does not understand how i get obsessed with things at all. it's been serving me videos based on stuff i liked literally years ago and i had to hunt for them in my liked videos to get rid of them
Conversation
another use case for what i've been calling "tuning" - i want youtube to understand that i get obsessed with specific topics and only want to see videos about those topics and then when the topic changes i don't want to see any of the previous stuff at all
Replying to
i've been coping with this so far by periodically wiping my watch history but it's stupid that this isn't just a feature, surely i can't be the only person who wants to be served content this way

okay i hunted down all the weird sources of recommendations i didn't want. it was liked videos + watch history + "watch later". not playlists afaict. tempted to wipe + pause watch history and use likes entirely for recommendations
