steam's needs work, that's for sure
netflix's is based on what people who watch what you watch also watch, so you might just be an outlier there and the recommendations don't match up with you
youtube's is literally being systematically gamed by a few specific powers, so don't ever expect to get anything good off the youtube recommendations unless you hit very, very specific niches
algorithms are fine and all, but they definitely don't fit everyone. i would wager most people get some good out of some of them at least, though. i sometimes i find a decent video off my youtube recommendations but i'm particularly niche in terms of what i watch on there.
algorithms are pretty much the future of advertising and we're going to go into AIs that advertise and recommend for us eventually once they get powerful enough, so expect progress
