Spending more time, enjoying it less

Hi everyone,

Not sure if it has to do with YouTube's algorithms, or what's happening, but I feel like I'm being bombarded with stuff from few (maybe two dozen) channels and can't really browse properly anymore...

You know that game where you start on a random Wikipedia site and you have to get to a specific Wikipedia site just through following sub-links? Feels like in YouTube I'd be kind of linked in a circle. I used to end up in really weird parts of YouTube (and thus would know it's time to go to bed as soon as I saw some blister being operated on or whatever), now the suggestions are all really tightly focused around the topic at hand with random ones being really closely related to recent activity.

For example I'm new to web dev and watched a guide or two on what technologies to use in 2017, and now I constantly get new versions of the same thing suggested. I already watched something about that. I'm done. New tutorials or whatever might be useful but I don't need more videos that are exactly the same video content wise, but by a different person. It's too closely related.

Is anyone else finding this kind of thing?
