Just... why??

At least (in this case) it's making reasonable suggestions. Watch Tom Scott -> Here's another Tom Scott video you haven't seen. Even so, the GUI in the app has just become a complete mess. I don't use it too often, but it feels like they redesign it in between every time I do.

I've seen some other cases where it's not so reasonable. For example, after watching what is basically the Sega jingle for a 2009 video game, it suggests me a Cinemassacre video about why Blu-ray sucks (a video that I've already watched before that point). And sometimes I wanna go back 10 seconds and accidentally click on the suggested video that I don't wanna watch, which is pretty annoying.
