Almost every video I watch on YouTube is some balding guy in his basement repairing a computer from the 1980s.

My front page is: an awkward curator giving a tour of a battleship, a candle making tutorial, a 20 minute explanation of how pencils are made, Adam savage selling some kind of sleeping bag, a documentary about how robots are being used to clean up Fukushima, a video about penrose tiles, and half a dozen space news roundup videos.

If you're seeing MTV for millennials, that's because you're clicking on the videos.

If the algorithm is showing you things you don't like, your taste in videos sucks and you don't realize it.

Thank you! I particularly appreciate the recommendations for the smaller channels. Hadn't seen most of those.
