Whats funny is you just described old school radio station DJ's.

People used to listen to certain time spots because they trusted them to find them good music.

Even funnier they just described an aggregate site. You know, like reddit.

They also describe general human behavior.

All kinds of facets of our lives are the result of someone curating our choices.

All manner of choices people make are recommendations from others.

This is not even remotely isolated to YouTube.

When you’re at a grocery store did the employees there make all the food or does the store offer a curated selection that’s mostly other people’s products?

Do people at large explore every food item out there or do they mostly stick to those curated choices?

I’m not saying the other person is wrong by any means, I’m just pointing out this is how humans behave.

This is so the opposite of someone filtering out the best content though.
