        the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they’re really good

        learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don’t just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.

          Yup or just don’t use the algorithm, I only ever visit my subscriptions tab and get recommendations for new content from other actual people.

          if you cant find good content on yourube you’re just relying on the algorithim maybe? Try searching for things you’re interested in lol

          Yes there is. I’d probably never have found out about variant Sudoku without Cracking the Cryptic. I get valuable rock climbing tips from professional climbers and coaches on YouTube and employ them often successfully in the climbing gym. I learn about weird weapons from that blacksmith guy that i can use in my TTRPGs and that’s not even taking about the science channels.

          Of course if you don’t curate your subscribed channels and just browse home it’s probably gonna suck and be full of clickbait

            So you’re the person who watches those medieval weapon tutorials. I wondered how those stayed alive.
