YouTube made my viewing experience worse for the past decade already, and I'm not just talking about the fucking ads, which I don't see either way and never will be, regardless of what they do. If they think this is going to make me want to support them, then they should just drink the bottle of bleach as their next fabulous idea.

Their algorithm certainly made videos worse the moment they started priorizing the promotion of longer videos over shorter ones leading to an increase in incredibly long winded videos that waste everyones time.

Their algorithm is generally just complete garbage. Watch a video from channel X and it throws everything form channel X at you. Watch anything from category Y and it throws any video about category Y at you. It also loves to push "recently uploaded" videos. Meaning some garbage 47 views video of some random idiot uploading some random ass video that might be roughly related to a topic I'm potentially interested in. It also constantly recommends me the videos that I've already seen, so I have to tell YT every fucking time that I already watched the video and don't want to see it again. Or all the garbage clickbait titles & thumbnails that are just the fucking norm apparently. I cold go on an on and on... I watched so much videos in the past and nowadays it's almost nothing. It's all just shit.
