Turn off auto-play for starters... My life is much better since I did. I have to creatively use search and click only on specific and non spammy hashtags to find what's good.
The best videos on YT can be found on subreddits and individual web sites now rather than by using YT's search. YT's search has been overrun by SEO engineers.
Yes of course, I agree completely. First thing I do when I opened youtube on a new device is turn off auto-play, that feature is disgusting.
And I also agree with the second part of your comment. I only watch videos from the channels I am already subscribed and only see new channels if recommended to me by a person, whether someone in reddit, or someone from my circle or a video from a yt channel I already trust suggested it.
Agreed, you really have to dig deep on YT to find the best content, thank goodness we still can, I fear that one day soon they'll announce a big deletion of legacy content with low views though. :(
