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.
