Least favourite behavior of YouTube these days is the mass of pimple popping and wart removal videos that show up near the top of search results for damn near anything. "Fluke 87v power on options"? Pimple popping. "Generator repair"? Wart removal. And it isn't just one, it's dozens of them, to the point where there might only be one or two relevant results and the rest are basically gore/grossout videos. It's still…

Okay just in case someone who knows reads this. Why doesn’t Youtube Premium background play work with members-only videos?

The start has a random intro to seem more human-like and the Question/Answer is basically copypasted and the font/style of delivery is very mediocre (and very distinctly cheap SEA format). The comments are the biggest giveaway though with multiple "Love from Bangladesh"s.

I think somebody watched a lot of pimple-popping videos while logged into your account. You might want to take a look at your viewing history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history Because that's definitely not a default. I've never seen YouTube recommend one of those in my life.
