Indeed. I understand the algorithm hate round here, and if someone decides that they don’t want any recommendations from Google at all that’s their business, but I do appreciate some of what they send my way. Recently, whether due to a tweak on the back end or a quirk of my recent watch history, I’ve found I’ve been getting a fair number of very small channels filtering into my recommendations. Without those recs, I’m never gonna find someone’s 712 view video from 3 years ago about scratch building an original spaceship design, so I’m happy to have a space where those can show up in addition to my personally curated subscription feed.
I’ve found loads of actually good and interesting high effort content from recommendations.

The challenge is the load of A.I. slop it throws my way. I appreciate the big and small channels that share actual helpful information.
Every time I visit youtube, I have to block at least 30 A.I. slop channels
