    Has Hakim made it big on the algorithm? This video has been recommended to a bunch of my lib friends and they’re all talking about it, and weirdly enough it didn’t show up for me, despite me being subscribed.

      Sometimes new videos from users you’re subscribed to don’t show up in your recommended, because the algorithm sometimes assumes that you’ll see the video in your subscription tab, so it would rather use the screen real estate to recommend you other creators or videos.

        That is ridiculous, if I’ve got every notification and subscription option active, surely it should be top of my feed? Theres no way that many people browse their subscriptions tab over their front page. What a shit website.
