I've been asking this myself specifically about Youtube lately. Sure, if I watch a poker/snooker/aoe2 video once, my home page will be plastered with videos on the same topic, but I barely ever click those videos and they remain there for weeks or months.
But the stuff that I really like I hardly ever get suggestions for related videos. Eg. h3h3, idubbbz, ozzy man reviews.
In particular, I wish that I could discover more channels that I want to subscribe to.
I'm thinking it's a multifaceted problem:
- a lack of content creators that are like these
- difficulty in drawing connections between channels
- overwhelming amounts "easy" content for simple suggestions
I have trouble believing they can't draw connections between channels, and I also have trouble believing they can't filter out low quality "easy" content suggestions when I basically never go there.
However; I feel like Google is ignoring my most watched content for suggestions, possibly because they've demonetized a lot of the content that I enjoy, which means they can't profit by suggesting those videos.
