That's an interesting claim that's based on nothing but your own supposition.

How about we get Youtube to show us their algorithm and associated weights (assuming an ML-based approach, which is a huge assumption on your part) and then we can find out if that's true.

What more reasonable alternative do you see, with the existence of my personal recommendation feed? I'm not aware of any personal recommendation systems that don't use ML. Do you have any examples in mind?
