what is it with youtube recommending brand new videos from tiny channels with like 13 subscribers

in the same vein of "weird shit that youtube does", what is it with closed captions switching to a completely random language on certain videos?

i get that some videos wont always have captions available for a specific language, but why tf does youtube think i'd rather use a completely different language instead of just... automatically turning captions off? how does this help?

"oops! this video doesnt have english captions. don't worry, we'll just set it to fucking arabic for you. no need to thank us :)"

what i'm referring to is youtube's apparently completely random dice roll in picking small content creators. 99% of the "small channel content" i get is just stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTOq8emjsO8

  • no captions available, not even auto-generated ones
  • entire video is in a completely foreign language i cannot begin to understand
  • near-constantly bombarded by gigantic, flashing "FOLLOW" and "SUBSCRIBE" banners every 5 seconds
  • the actual content, as far as i can tell (some kind of demonstration of liquid physics in a school classroom...?), does not even remotely match any of my personal interests

i wouldn't watch a video like this in a million years, so it truly makes me wonder how it ends up on my recommended feed, if not by pure chance.
