Hi - I get the sentiment, and I agree that YouTube recommendations aren't what they used to be. Unfortunately, adding that functionality is not very feasible, as the way the extension can interact with the YouTube API (where it gets video information from) is not able to get totally random videos. There's some websites out there that try to emulate the feeling of totally random videos, but they are also restricted by this, so will not be completely random. Sorry I couldn't give a more positive answer.
