Algorithms that try to suggest me content are universally bad, and all searches should provide results based solely on the terms, syntax, and language entered. Same with anything that tries to provide me content based on data harvested about my location or demographic.
I think it has its place but it should absolutely be optional. Yeah they suck but the YouTube algorithm is responsible for like 70% of my knowledge base.
I feel like algorithms when done well are amazing. Like, the YouTube Music algorithm is so great for music, I just start playing a song and it takes it from there. Unlike Spotify, which has gone downhill these days, I never feel the need to skip a song on YTM.
