Hey HN I'm noticing my YouTube recommendations are narrowing more and more lately. I want to shake up my recommendations feed by deliberately watching some new stuff and wanted others to share what they watch. Really interested to see some smaller creators and some variety of topics.

I'll start, my stuff feed is mainly home lab, makers and tech stuff:

- Christian Lempa (HomeLab and IT)

- TechnoTim (HomeLab and IT) LTT

- NetworkChuck (home lab and IT)

- GreatScott (electronics and Arduino style stuff)

- Rachel De Barros (maker vlog and Arduino stuff)

- Tom Stanton (maker vlog)

- Xyla Foxlin (maker vlog)

- JSFILMZ (unreal)

- William Faucher (unreal)

- Corridor Crew

What I enjoy that is recommended less and less:

- Exploring the Unbeaten Path (urban exploration)

- Bedtime Stories (brilliantly illustrated folklore)

- Is It A Good Idea To Microwave this? (Many years ago this was hilariously dangerous videos)

I’ve noticed a fairly clear drop in traffic to my most popular articles related to Jenkins since ChatGPT launched. It has made me question whether there is any point writing a blog anymore if LLMs will just consume it and feed it to users in its own words. Is there a point in writing for robots?

I’m curious if others have noticed this, and if it’s a wider trend.

If this is a wider trend, how will this affect the proliferation of new tech information, guides and tutorials? Will this affect the future of LLMs if there is less source data to train on?
