Is there an alternative for youtube recommended videos?

So I watch a pretty wide variety of videos on YouTube, and when I sign in, it does a decent job of recommending new videos that I might be interested in. The problem is it has a short term memory, and will neglect your subscribed to channels in favor or kinds of videos you have been most recently watching.

I can categorize my subscribed channels as such:
political videos
computer videos
science videos
wrestling videos (I coach)
game of thrones/shows I watch videos
cooking videos
video game videos
health/fitness/gadgets videos
hockey videos
math videos
random videos

Now I would like to log in and see some recommendations from each group, but unfortunately, if i watch videos on any of of the above topics, that is literally all I see as recommended videos.

So for example, lets say I watch a few wrestling videos, that's all I will see and all those other topics are neglected - even though Id like to see new videos that I might want to watch in those categories.

Is there any other way to see recommended videos? Maybe like an RSS reader for youtube?

I was thinking maybe even making multiple youtube accounts for each interest, that way recommended videos dont spill into each other - but thats unreasonable and would end up getting messed up anyway when clicking links online.

Anybody else have a solution? Thanks in advance.

1. Delete items from your watch history
2. Refresh page
3. Complain to YouTube

Not sure what else there is.
Sometimes I'll click a thumbnail, not to watch it, but to see what YouTube will list as related content.

YouTube will push any monetized videos. Non-monetized videos take a backseat.

Yep. Hate these goddamn companies pushing their agenda - its unfortunate because theres so much great content on youtube.

Im trying out an RSS reader with all my youtube channels added by category. Maybe ill find one that gives recommendations? Trying out feedly now.

I hate all the ads (I mean recommended videos) on the page. I find them distracting. I should complain since I pay for Red.

Same here. Im paying for Red, and I see the same stupid youtube collab videos clearly made for 12 year olds, or idiots. I check not interested every time but it does nothing.
