Perhaps this is the reason the recommendations are junk? How can Youtube recommend you videos if you hide what you like from Youtube?

I watch a lot of Youtube, signed in, on Youtube.com, and my recommendations are great.

I hide what I like from YouTube because their recommendations are junk. If they default recommendations are going to be more junk then I don't want them knowing what I watch as I can only assume that they promote what they are paid to.
