I don't mind YouTube's recommendation algorithm because it helps me find new videos and channels to watch but it seems to constantly recommend videos I've already watched. In fact, when marking a video "not interested" you have the option to say it's because you've already seen it before. Are people constantly re-watching videos that this is a thing? Can't YouTube tell the difference between a music video and a long form video on a niche subject?
I have a tampermonkey script that hides all watched videos from recommendations. First I tried to mark all those I watched "not interested because I watched it", and hoped the "we will tune your recommendations" would actually tune them. Instead it just kept falling in, so I had to find other solution.
At least marking videos "not interested" worked till now, but I just cant anymore.
It's like they want to push me away.
