I really miss the days when the music was relevant. If you watched a Papa Roach music video, there were other Papa Roach videos being suggested. Now, it doesn’t even suggest music in the same genre. It just recommends music I’ve already seen like Tupac or really out there genres like a pop music video I’ve never watched. Not relevant to my taste or the video itself, but nice try, YouTube…?
Comment on YouTube does this "suggested video" thing now

At least (in this case) it’s making reasonable suggestions. Watch Tom Scott -> Here’s another Tom Scott video you haven’t seen. Even so, the GUI in the app has just become a complete mess. I don’t use it too often, but it feels like they redesign it in between every time I do.

I’ve seen some other cases where it’s not so reasonable. For example, after watching what is basically the Sega jingle for a 2009 video game, it suggests me a Cinemassacre video about why Blu-ray sucks (a video that I’ve already watched before that point). And sometimes I wanna go back 10 seconds and accidentally click on the suggested video that I don’t wanna watch, which is pretty annoying.
