Youtube is filled with fake information and clickbait

The video platform is not what it was 5 years ago. I will not get into ads, as I use premium, I am only focusing on the content that is fed to you as a viewer. It got worse than on TV, everything is clickbait, everything has the same Mr beast captions and loud useless narrator voice, but the worst part is, the quality of the content itself is poor, basic, and barely scratches the surface of what is meant to be 'teaching' you. I have turned off search results to not get any recommendations anymore, and the home feed is empty. but that does not shield me from the mass of clickbait and missinfirmation videos that pop-up as 'related' to what video i am watching. The search function, like others have already mentioned, is working backwards, only showing you 3 or 4 videos that are related to your search, and the rest are again the same cliclbait missinformation videos pushed down your throat. The 'don't recommend channel' function is not working at all, so you are forced to be reminded of the same videos that you don't want to see over and over again. I am only paying for Premium for the videos I watch when i remember there are still creators I follow, but lately I am only using the account for YT music. I was watching youtube for at least 3 hours before going to bed, when the platform was functional. Nowadays I barely even use it anymore due to the poor content that is being thrown at you. There is nothing good on this platform anymore, 90% of it is only 'cash grab' videos, no essence.
