I'm somewhat surprised people still watch YouTube with the horrible recommendations and non-stop spam


YouTube actually has really good recommendations and comments these days.

In fact I would say the comments are too good. They clearly have something ranking them for "niceness" but it makes them impossibly sentimental. Like I watched a bunch of videos about 70s rock recently and every single comment was about how someone's family member just died of cancer and how much they loved listening to it.
