There’s still an enormous amount of great content on youtube. You don’t need to watch the commercial shit.

I know, but there is more crap to filter out and fewer opportunities to stumble across little gems.

That is just because there is a whole of a lot more content.
There are even more little gems out there now than we did before.

Idk I never had issues with that. My recommendations are pretty good and relevant generally.

Yeah, my favorite YouTube content has been the type that are just random uploads from people who don’t even post frequently or ever again, and just sharing something because they thought it was cool along the vein of reddit and lemmy. So doesn’t have that whole artificial production vibe and intentionally lengthened videos with begs for likes and so on, since there was no monetization motive to begin with.
Crappy thing is that those type of videos are suppressed and hidden by the algorithm that pushes the big channels to the top in searches. YouTube really pushes the personality/influencer driven content for obvious reasons, but it’s why I haven’t really fallen into the YouTube hole of endlessly watching it.
