Does anyone know why the YouTube algo keeps recommending old videos, like 4-5 or even 10 yr old videos?

Because they are still relevant and they still perform well when viewed.

The algorithm is constantly being updated and improved to ensure that viewers are getting the best recommendations possible. YouTube also takes into account many other factors, such as how long viewers watch a video and how often they interact with the content. This helps YouTube serve viewers with content that they are likely to enjoy and engage with. Maybe you will find this article from https://variety.com/2020/digital/ne...anie-horbaczewski-jeremy-houghton-1234814177/ interesting because it contains some of their history changes and some tips. Hope this helps!
