I always click on a video or link on youtube, then see something else more interesting in the recommended list right after I click, but when I click back the recommended list changes and I have to try to search for it again.

it doesnt change for me are you logged in?
Open videos in new tabs so the Home page doesn't change until you do a refresh. (middle click works as well as ctrl+click)
That or hover over the video length in the lower right of the thumbnail, it will instigate a popup you can click to "watch later".
Back button is evil.
I always open in new tabs to avoid that problem.
The simple answer there is to wait 3 seconds and scan the recommended feed before clicking new videos then
I hate the recommended feature all together, especially when it's recommended based off some bullshit unrelated you also weren't especially interested until you watched found out and promptly exited.

Click the 3 dots, click not interested, and if you want, go further and use the "tell us why" bit and you can submit reasoning.
Recommendations are bshit anyways - for me they are NEVER accurate. I never once clicked on recommendation and probably never will the idea of them sickens me almost as much as spam mails.
Always do it (open videos in new tabs), then it won't be something you have to remember. Worst case you only have one video you want to see and you just close the tab to get to the one you opened up. In any other case it's a time saver (and frankly if you get the keybinds down it's probably equal or better for a single video too).

Based on what? I don't know what to say. Imagine saying that advertising in itself isn't effective because you don't see the statistics. The goal is to share content in the most opportune time. It doesn't matter if it's an advertisement on television, a video recommendation you might like on YouTube, your next song on Pandora, etc. One of those examples is entirely reliant on recommendations and thus it's obvious that the sole benefactor isn't the company.
As for WTF is recommended to you--it's simple, that something that was recommended to you is based on you yourself. You clicked on that whiny shit Paul Watson, you get that nutjob Alex Jones because based on everything you've done, you are not a snowflake, you are part of a cluster of lemmings. You very likely will love Alex Jones.
