Or YouTube? The homepage and literally every video are full of recommendations.

Thanks to various plugins for Firefox, my experience of the YouTube homepage is a blank page apart from the search bar.

That's so much worse than actually YouTube though. If I've been watching programming, physics, or history YouTube it absolutely surfaces excellent creators I'd have no other means of discovering.

YouTube isn't Wikipedia. I don't go into it wanting a specific narrow thing. Like how do you even find content you'd like otherwise?

Absolutely. I've found probably 20-30 great channels thanks to YouTube's recommendations successfully recommending me stuff I actually enjoy.

I do use it like Wikipedia, I guess. Or actually more like Google.

I'm really not into doomscrolling "content". Life's too short.
