YouTube recommendation sucks. It keeps recommending the same thing to you. Sometimes, videos from a few years ago just because you watched one video from this guy. TikTok recommendation system recommend a variety of clips and almost all of them are interesting to you. I go to YouTube if I know what I am going to watch, it has so much content, but I hate it when it automatically change the homepage after you clicked on one of the video.

That's not my experience, especially lately. I have lots of different topics on my YouTube feed. Topics that are specific as well as more general topics. Time and date of access is also relevant as well.
The only difference being TikTok uses a lot more human moderation compared with YouTube.
I don't find their recommendation system any special as opposed to their specific operational model.
