Users of YouTube are familiar with how watching a single video on a new topic can result in the recommendation engine suddenly pouring tons of other related videos into the "Recommended" section. I sometimes won't click on an otherwise interesting video if I don't want to risk my recommended section becoming polluted.

Here's where I admit that I've been obsessing about coronavirus non-stop for the last two weeks. I've been Googling for it, searching YouTube for it, and have even subscribed to a couple channels about it. But I don't see them in the recommended section.

For someone who's admittedly been obsessing about this to what is probably an unhealthy degree, this might be exactly what I need and a good thing for me personally. But I'm curious if others have noticed this and wanted to share that some kind of manual intervention in the YouTube recommendation engine might be in place.
