The recommendation algorithm is the reason I use YouTube. Well over half of the videos I'm watching are from channels I'm not even subscribed to. Ads can be blocked as always.
This is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy (since it means Google has to track you) but I agree. I've discovered so many great channels, both small and large, through YouTube recommendations.
