Might be a case of A/B testing or I've heard a theory that Adblock users are penalized- most certainly, for me, the frontpage is worthless to a point where it singlehandedly reduced my YouTube use to nearly zero.

All it does is show the same few videos from the same few popular creators in the same few advertiser-friendly categories it binned me into. None of them actually interest me, but it just doesn't catch on.
