Youtube has made similar changes a while back. YouTube recommendations feature small/tiny channels with few subscribers a lot more often.

It’s mixed results for viewers but it does help to good small channels to not be drowned out by the bigger players.

Oh! That's why I've been finding tiny channels with oddly well made videos lately.

It's a play to try to fix the algo. Large creators have gaming the system down to a science and it's making the experience as bad as yaho... google search.
