[YouTube-API] Re: Fetching "Related" videos using the API returns different list than the one on the site

Hello Eran,

I don't think this is a bug as we don't claim the API will always
return the same set of related videos that end up being suggested on
the watch page. In general, I think the folks responsible for the
watch page experiment a lot more with different algorithms for
determining which videos to recommend, while the approach used by the
API tends to be more static.

Cheers,
