Banging my head against the wall anymore trying to search for simple shit and the results being unrelated crap from big name tubers who've SEO'd the system to get their shit up top first.
Half the "results" it shows aren't even results, but "similar", "recommended", "previously watched" etc bullshit. Luckily you can hide them. Download Stylus and make a style for youtube with this:
ytd-shelf-renderer { display: none; }Edit: actually you can just use uBlock Origin if you already have that (you should). Just add
www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-rendererto your filters.It's really cool to have to add "reddit" to a query to get a result written by a human.
Try adding site:youtube.com to the end of a regular search engine query
Works for finding shit on :reddit-logo:, havent tried youtube
it was always worse than plain google search but I don't use it that much anymore so idk
When searching for something obscure I find that sorting by upload date cuts the irrelevant crap out
