Sometimes it seems that posts that are "time relevant" get pushed to users feeds even though they are not actually subscribed to that place. Pretty odd idea, but I guess the idea is to increase interactions with certain posts that are seen as "viral"
the only interaction I gave that post was the not interested option. I think their algorithm needs a fair bit more work if it thinks someone with my watch history is interested in that, regardless of vitality.
yeah the algorithm certainly needs some help, I know the many times that I have watched one video on a topic and all of a sudden Youtube thinks thats the next most amazing thing to me and wont stop recommending me it, also ive noticed it has removed report option on some videos

i haven't tried to report a video in forever. I noticed yesterday after I complained about https://twitter.com/lcastboss15/status/1121928133429436416 … the next few videos I watched had that very song as the autoplay, which is weird considering I pressed not interested and I wasn't watching content remotely related.
Lcast added,
as well as just normal report, ive noticed that after selecting "not interested" (like 50 times on videos on my front page) to try to train the algorithm. I swear the backend literally stops registered them, because sometimes the process takes way too little time to load
on my really crap internet, where for sure it should take like 3 secs to load again, somehow the website magically seems to respond instantly, and the report api request happens magically at the speed of light on a satellite connection, bit fishy
if they are actually registering it, I don't know if the algorithm is able to recognise just how important a not interested rating is, which could be why it looks like it does nothing.
I just think it does not treat the not interested rating with enough weighting and considers all other factors more important, and then the last thing in the chain of importance is the users actual interaction, watch one video with the words "vines" and your feed is gone
