This is a technical question about recommended videos

I'm going to attempt to ask this so that you'll understand what I'm trying to find out.

I understand that Youtube recommends videos to viewers based upon their interests, particularly videos along the same lines as to what they've watched or searched for. But I'm also wondering if they use the viewers location (city, state, neighborhood) to recommend videos even if that viewer never typed in their location in the search.

For example, let's say you were looking for a fitness video on chest workouts and you lived in the lower East Side of New York. If you just typed in "chest workouts" and not your location, would Youtube recommend a video titled "Chest Workout at such and such gym, Lower East Side New York" before some others?

I think that it does recommend videos from your location, but not that specifically. For example if your location was set to US, it would recommend videos from the US.

I figured it would recommend based on country but I was wondering if more specifically like city, state or even section of a large city.

I've moved this to the main YouTube discussion forum. =)

I tried searching for "best crunchy pizza home delivery" and I thought the algorithm would be smart enough to understand "home delivery" is an action word and perhaps you are looking for food to eat in your area. Doesn't look like it. Perhaps the problem is people make videos to be widely searchable, not only for a specific area, unless you search for a specific business name in your area. But Google gives highly targeted area results. So different search engines for different things. Google also didn't have any pizza video results.
