Ask HN: Video recommendation platform as a way to compete with YouTube?

I think their recommendations are really, really good.

To help the system you can click "not interested" to recommendations that you don't like, and you can also click the bell next to subscribe to get always get recommended and notifications for the creators you like.

Usually if I don't like the recommendations on the front page I just refresh, I get different ones.

Recommandations are hard because even for you, as an individual, they differet from one day to another and even from hour to hour, based on what you are in the mood to watch.

I've been trying to fine-tune my recommendation list by clicking on "not interested" and "don't recommend channel". "Not interested" option just removes a video and doesn't adjust anything according to what I observed. "Don't recommend channel" does a thing but after several months the channel again pops out on the recommendation list. Especially annoying reaction videos which I never watched and will never do.

Also when I try to refresh the front page I still see the same videos all over again in different order.
