Comment on The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day.

Tell you a problem I’ve had with it recently: search.

Used to be, you’d search Youtube for something like 'how to make a zero clearance throat plate for table saw" and you’d get pages of useful results, then some not so great results, then things that make you say “no not that kind of throat.” and by then it’s just giving you results with at least one of the search terms in it.

Now, you’ll get maybe ten relevant results, then about ten results that have absolutely nothing to do with your search, just…stuff it would clutter your home page with. Like you’re not trying to find information. You can feel that “increase watch time at all costs” shit.
