If the purpose is to provide alternative recommendation feeds, it's not useless. Ever had that feeling when you go to the yt homepage and you don't see anything you want to watch?
It literally just filters by colors in the thumbnail
It just sends you to filters at the top for the color, there are tons of others already there that you can use to find new stuff, including a „new to me“ one that will only show things you actually haven’t seen before.
wouldn't the optimal way to deal with that just be a button that shows you progressively more different content the more you click it?
why would showing me green videos somehow be particularly helpful?
Personally, I've never clicked on a video because I saw it on the homepage. When I open the site, I already know what kind of video I want to see and go immediately to search. Homepage recommendations have never been of use for me.
