You can inject your own novelty. Youtube does the same thing and after a while I just clear out its recommendations and start over.
The non-customized (viewed in incognito) main page of Youtube that is the recommendation for the average viewer is even worse, nobody should ever touch that horror show.
Ublock origin with all filters enabled is the only thing that makes Youtube usable in my opinion.
Youtube is a horrific service. The recommendations are terrible, the UX sucks, too many ads, they dont know how to use the sreen real-estate.
I freaking hate youtube.
WRT to real-estate, I see that the video I am wanting is taking up ~20% of the screen, then there is a list of completely unrelated content, and I have to click to see the date of the submitted video.
The UX is different on every single device. Phone, machine, ipad, browsers differ... its just a mess.
