It's funny because I agree with you - out of everything that collects my data I get the most out of YouTube, it often recommends things I like quite a bit and it's the primary way I discover new music
I take steps to prevent algorithms from dictating what I listen to and watch. Algorithmically-decided culture feels utterly wrong to me.
What is the alternative? There is so many videos and creators I am not sure their is any other way to do it. Besides some form of an algorithm.
human interaction, mostly. I get a lot of my new music from a guy who scours bandcamp for stuff he likes as a hobby.
