for clarification:

TY isn't propagating content - meaning there are no people who sit in front of a computer and choose what people are seeing in their "Feeds" or what they see when they land on the front page.

That is completely different than an algorithm specifically designed to recommend content to you based on what video's you have watched in the past to maximize your time on the site.

IF you have one, you don't need to the other.

Also, the content you see when you are logged in to google vs. logged out is also completely different for reasons that shouldn't require any elaboration.

I think I made it clear that this is not what is happening, and not what the problem is.
