YT has a bad tendency for over-recommending. I watch one video about stock market and my next ten videos are about stock picking from random guys. I also immediately get advertisements for crypto platforms!

The only time I appreciate over-recommendations is when I search for old standup videos of Dave Attell, George Carlin, and others and it suggests more of these gems.

I recommend turning off the watch history. It means the only recommendations you get are related to the video you're currently watching. It's not perfect but it's a lot better.

Thanks. I will try this.
