there should be some way to refresh the recommendations, show more variety, show something completely different from what you normally watch, etc. right now you watch one video, let's say it's vacuum cleaners. then for next two months you get recommended vacuum cleaner videos.

That's a really big problem yeah. What if you were given the control to choose if you want to get more similar video recommendations in the future by checking a "recommend similar videos" box after you finish watching a video? Instead of the algorithm doing it by itself? Because sometimes you can watch a video and then you got everything you needed from it so you don't necessarily need to watch similar videos.
