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

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

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
