I'm really at loss at how bad Google is at algorithms considering how pioneering they have been in selecting engineers based on their algorithmic skills and their immense contributions to the whole ML sector.

I can let Spotify play on its own for hours and it will be just right...Even with songs I know nothing about, it's just very good.

I tried Tik Tok once and I could see how easily it could pick content.

But Youtube and Youtube Music are a disaster. Youtube Music is a decent service, but it's hard to get suggested anything really.

Youtube Shorts are a disaster. Sure I like the Sopranos, I find some Joe Rogan's interview interesting and sure I like the NBA, but that's virtually all it feeds me, even if I start scrolling away to other topics.
