It's not only recommendations that is broken. YT has a very sluggish frontend (I have to suffer it particularly in my x260 laptop), and for us multi-lingual people they translate stuff and you can't know in the search results which video is in which language.

I don't like YT quite honestly, and it's been a while. I understand it's a business but you don't have to provide such bad experience to make money.

For searching videos I'm more and more relying external search because with YT I just get suggested crap, like with google. I'm beyond tired with this.

I think offering alternative titles for each language is on the creators, not youtube themselves

Cool, I'd like to disable that, but I can't. It makes particularly difficult to find local stuff.

This was the last drop for me, when I started to use external search.
