It's only better when YT goes into one of its repeating phases where it keeps serving up the same news stories from five months ago because that's what the math in the algorithm is adding up to for some stupid reason.

But I have noticed the "new to you" serves up a lot more of the lowest common denominator trash videos. The kind of shit you see on a new account before you get your tendencies set in the algorithm. Lots of "you'll never believe" and "top ten" titles and thumbnails with red circles.

Still, I end up using it a lot on Sunday nights since no one uploads on the weekends and there is less to pick from.
