I almost never click a video by someone I don't know these days. It's almost always a waste of time.

I've recently been using the home page on YT (in addition to my bookmark, which takes me straight to /feed/subscriptions) and I've been pleasantly surprised. It seems like the algorithm is generally pretty good at finding similar videos to the ones I enjoy. That is unless I scroll waaaaay down, where it just runs out of ideas. I would recommend trying out your home page, with some light pruning as needed ("Not interested", "Don't recommend channel").
