> At least Amazon let you fix their reccomendations

You can on youtube as well. From the homepage, mouse over a recommended video and the three vertical dots appear. From there you can say "Not interested" and provide a reason.

That makes a difference, if at all, in only one direction. Amazon at least used to let you specify "I own it" for books that you own but didn't buy through them, which greatly improves their book reccomendations.

Amazon will also show you "I'm reccomending X because you bought Y", and let you say "don't use Y to reccomend me things". Youtube doesn't.

And the three dots don't appear for the one reccomended video that lurks among the related videos on the right of a video you're watching.

I have never noticed this button before. Bad discoverability could be another point in my list.

> I guess most youtube viewers are browsing omnivores Or maybe they are mostly bots that are skewing Youtube algorithms.

But doesn't mighty Google have an obvious lead in AI and Machine Learning over all the other tech companies?

YouTube does too by saying "not interested". I have Red and love YouTube's engine
