No, I actually watch videos on youtube that I find interesting. There is so much content on there that I would have to go out of my way to find videos on this pewdiepie character. There is no reason that his videos would ever be recommended to me through their algorithms. I just found out who this guy is this morning. Watched one of his videos. Turns out there was a reason that I had never come across him before. His content is not nearly targeted at me.

It's almost impossible, unless you block him like I have long ago, not to see one of his videos come up on the side/in trending/in your home if you surf it consistently. Youtube advertises the frick out of him cause he gets views, lots and lots of views.

He's said a few times recently that YouTube/Google doesn't really promote him much at all and that he doesn't even talk with them.

I think I removed that trending bar a long time ago. It only shows recommendations based off of what I have already watched or asks me if I want to finish watching or watch again.
