Especially considering the fact that you did not even attempt outlining what the reason might be why so many others have the opposite experience.

In this case, I'd imagine this is a case where the people who have a bad experience with the YouTube suggestion algorithm have a reason to speak up but the people who are having a fine experience do not.
Here's an example of some stuff that just showed up recently.
[1] Some guy camping an exploring an island that used to be a federal prison - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xnI1hZdltw
[2] A documentary about homeless people racing carts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi-f_J6hV-g
[3] Fantastic funk music (and I don't even listen to funk!) - https://youtu.be/m1oLjnKeUiY?t=2
[4] Fantastic old school theatrical hard rock from Japan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbI79e5iZKs
[5] Sapolsky's must-see lecture on stress - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9H9qTdserM&t=112s (which I got recommended and was watching this morning in the background while I worked)
Just a random sample from stuff that popped up in the recent past. All the above captured my curiosity 100%. Maybe it's a personality thing, maybe I am eager to just discover novel stuff, that the quality level might not be the highest but the novel factor covers for it.
