Some actual journalism on this. The video’s got the meat and potatoes, the text is just a blurb, sadly.
Apparently the primary things the algorithm looks for are watch times and repeat watches. Likes/shares etc. aren’t factored in as much.
So you need to sit yourself down on some cosplay vids and hammer them over and over again until you retrain the algorithm.
The only animations I don’t really like on ninja are the kicks and flips in the main combo. I’d rather there was more stabbing. Also Naruto running during sprint… Yeah, miss me with that.
And here’s a trippy screenshot.

So that’s the secret
In the interests of balance though, my YouTube algorithm is great - it shows me the “Pulling this huge stone from a cow’s hoof; imagine the INSTANT RELIEF!” videos I never knew I wanted, but now can’t live without.
I love that! I wasn’t planning on playing monk anyway. It’s so stylish. (I am totally not biased because of For Honor’s shinobi having 4 different kicks her moveset)
Does it look different on the race you play? It’s not at all naruto running on my human.
okay but how are you for “somewhat long videos all about a dude unclogging drains”
naruto running is cool
you just don’t want to be cool
it’s fine, I’ll be cool for you
The worst thing about the YouTube algorithm for me, is that someone would link me an Asmongold video and then for the next week my front page would be flooded with: “ASMONGOLD REACTS TO” videos
fuming
In fact now I think about it, maybe that’s the way to finally end the rampant political polarisation of our times - the algorithm works to unite left and right over satisfying footage of cow hoof surgery.
Love Biden or loathe him, surely we can all agree that cow experienced INSTANT RELIEF
deleting them from your watch history can help alleviate this, though I don’t think it stops it entirely.
I dont know, but on my dragon and the person below it’s the full on body forward, arms behind deal.
On my human it is one dagger in front and the other kept behind. Cool that they made it racial, I guess?
Unless it changes when you hit 30.
In other news, Sandman is coming to Netflix and I realised that despite loving a lot of Neil Gaiman’s work I’ve never read it. So I’ve ordered the first volume.
I understand it’s tied into the DC universe, is that right? I know next to nothing about DC because I was never really into comics when I was a youngun.
I’m sold.
My absolute guilty pleasure is watching beauty YouTubers film their “Nasal sebum/Blackhead removal” procedures in super close up slow motion
There’s just nothing like the pleasure of watching a huge chunk of white goo pop out of a pore
Judge me if you must, but I won’t change for anyone.
don’t tell me you watch popping videos 
Even my dark soul isn’t that far gone, friend.
Just pore cleansing tape is enough for me.
It’s a slippery slope. Take care my friend.
Changes when you hit 30.
Ah, you’re still a rogue. Yeah at 30 you become a ninja and come out of the weeb closet. Your jump also changes.
Also added, just logged onto my midlander NIN (level 76) and she does the naruto run.
Which looks hella funny in the thavnairian dress.
samurai sprint animation with the weapon out is the best
Yeah, I like that one.
