Ah, good suggestion! Let me look at what I can get from their API

#4Really love the intent there. Great stuff.

#5great idea! thanks for sharing this.
Recently I noticed I get better suggestions when I am logged out [0]. I am still convinced someone could implement a recommendation system that can suggest more interesting videos based on my history. And it would make me spend more time on the platform so it would be actually win-win if that could have been done by youtube but given their current priorities on monetization I don't know if there is hope. I will give that a try.

#6This is great. I feel the same way, but have been trying to train the existing YT algorithm. I started using my work email youtube profile to actively subscribe/like/save videos that I want to see more of (about hiring, management, culture, Kubernetes, devtools etc). At the same time I aggressively choose "not interested" and "do not suggest this channel" when the algorithm isn't suggesting what I want (more detail: https://twitter.com/GrantM/status/1325471071265558532).

#7It looks like I have to pay for Medium premium in order to read this story... can anyone give me a tl;dr? Or it looks like I can use Google cache text only to get around the paywall but that seems sub-par.

Try it in incognito tab in Chrome, or equivalent in another browser; that (Chrome Incognito) normally sorts it for me on Medium.

I usually do that but was presented with this text from medium after I signed in:

Which makes it sounds like this is a paid article regardless. Incognito worked though thank you.

I'm pretty sure the intended reading of "Not every story on Medium is free, like this one." is "This one is free, but not every story on Medium is."
