For all its bullshit, YouTube is the same. I've found myself on it more lately precisely because of the reasons you're saying. It's amazing how much niche content there is for any taste, even ones you don't yet realize you have.

Youtube at least realizes when its suggestions are in a rut and gives you that little popup offering to show you stuff slightly outside of your current echo chamber. Just how different it actually is I can't really prove.
