In the case of YouTube, only after a few results they become completely unrelated to my search.

    All the categories seems wildly divorced from what’s actually in them and half the time the category only suggests two videos… to me it feels like YouTube decides what you watch, today your suggestions are 90% old music videos, tomorrow a bunch of random machining videos, next day fail videos, rinse and repeat - obviously it’s based on your interests not mine but I’m sure everyone is having the same shitty experience

      I will say that YT is brilliant and seems to know that when I have a buzz on late at night I want to listen to 80s MTV videos. I listen to one song and then YT is like “here is a playlist with every song you ever searched for from that era.”
