Why ignore the algorithm? Some of my favorite creators I found through the algorithm (suggested videos, homepage, etc). I just ignore the ones you don’t like, you’ll see less and less of them.
Example: A few weeks ago it tried to show me videos of Charlie Kirk, I marked them as boring and after 3 attempts it got the message and I haven’t seen one since.
You’re right about this, but getting it right can take some work. YouTube makes recommendations based on your watch history and input, so you have to go in and remove videos from your history you don’t want to influence what you see. But a big problem IMO is that the algorithm recommends things only based on what you’ve watched recently, and not based on your subscriptions
