I like to get suggestions for videos to watch, things to read, music, but (perhaps because my tastes are not that mainstream), it doesn't provide me with much I can use. This goes for ads, too. I like to see ads that are relevant to me - new music, new products, equipment - but it doesn't show me these often enough.So YouTube / Google should let me provide it with keywords - a list of things...

This could be a good app to add to your browser.You type in words you are always looking for (for example, your favorite band names, but could be any regularly interesting word), and your browser auto-highlights those words anytime they're on a page
IMO Facebook should totally lay off security confirmations, account bans, and all that stuff because it just antagonizes people, unless the user actually does something significantly harmful to other users experience, ie largescale spamming (not just regular sharing), actual fake news propaganda (not just sharing a political story), actually abusing an account (not just using untrue details to protect their own privacy but otherwise using Facebook in an OK way).

What I'm trying (perhaps with not great success) to describe is something similar to WordPress, but made more for curation / organizing material found online and shared on pages designed yourself. And also easier to use just while doing regular stuff online (reading, finding stuff, watching videos), rather than having to go into the CMS of WordPress and "create a post"
Also, if you're using a platform like FB or Twitter or Pinterest, you can't monetize, so basically you'll never invest too much into it, plus it can all be deleted at any time if its on their platforms.
For several years, since getting into publishing online and working on blogs and a lot of other projects, I haven't found something quite simple yet unavailable.I want to be able to curate and share the good things I find online. For example, I want to collect the cool podcasts I find every half year, organize the news stories I find several of daily in a few categories of interest, share...
