Youtube's awful algorithm

For a company with so much money riding on their algorithm Youtube sure is awful. I mean, as an example, for months I've been trying to get it to show me candid, man on the street videos of various construction projects. I do deliberate searches for this every single time I log in and click on videos that seem to be that. Despite this, after months of this, their suggested viewings keep being mass media produced mainstream documentaries about construction I neither want nor ever click on.

In fact I can barely remember the last time I clicked on anything they suggest instead doing specific searches hoping that it will eventually learn. Want videos on astronomy? Here are twenty videos about SpaceX instead! Want realtime drive videos though scenic spaces? Here is a video about some stupid supercar that only Saudi royalty buys!

What is up with this? Even Pornhub figured out that I want to see redheads in glasses giving me orders like after two visits and god bless them for doing so. Surely Youtube has more invested into this than Pornhub?

Sorry, bit of a rant.
