The most likely explanation is that video has trended lately - possibly just because a bunch of people clicked on it from here - it knows other people who watched it watch other computing channels.  You watch computing channels too, therefore it recommended it to you since others were watching it.

Might be fun to do some experiments this way: find everyone who subscribes to, say, Techmoan, and have 2/3rds of them watch a specific music video, then see if the other 1/3 who watch Techmoan also see that as a recommended video.
