For the performance of the recommendation algorithm, Google uses offline metrics and then conducts A/B testing between the best performing algorithms to get the final decision.

The only intention of developing this recommendation algorithm is to serve the audience what they want to watch and improve the long-term engagement of the viewers.

YouTube cracks down on the extremist videos that promote neo-Nazi, white supremacy, and other types of hate speech.

The expansion of this takedown policy will affect the video content who feature the violent content or hate speech projecting the groups or individual.
