My YouTube experience feels kind of awful, does anyone have any tips on nurturing organic exploration that doesn't feel like I'm being shunted towards algorithmically pleasing content? Or is the state of the Youtube meta just leaning so much so that direction that even some of the good content feels that way with thumbnail/title? I spose I have a big habit of putting it on in the background while I do other things so sometimes my passive consumption leans into less quality content over quantity-of-noise but I'd like to be better about that.

Maybe I'm just being overwhelmed by the amount of Content presented at any given time? Home page feels like an overload already, in addition to the thumbnail meta hhhhh

How do you engage with Youtube in a way that feels....good? lmao

I spose I've been trying to sample around like, some streaming services too for passive documentaries to put on in the background cause I love those, but streaming services as a whole have almost a worse problem than YouTube lol.

i've been trying to get around this problem also, but I think I've just given up on trying to find anything on youtube - i don't know what i'd want to watch and the associated picks are bad. but also, 90% of my listening habits are WTYP or ASMR videos, so I think the recommendations sorta try to find clickbait and can't do as well lol
