I think the problem with current recommendation systems is lack of user's ability to customize them. I don't like youtube's algorithm either.

However, I do not want to just tell them what I like and let them indulge my addictions forever and put me into some sort of echo chamber.

Recommendation is hard.

This is a feature - the point is that if you were able to fully customize the recommendation algorithm you'll end up opting out of all the bullshit the platform wants you to "engage" with.
