YouTube is a hellscape of garbage

So I happened to see in my suggestions a video on the non-cannon unincluded books of the Bible, looked rather interesting. I clicked the link and discovered instantly that the entire video is just AI garbage. An AI voice reading an AI generated summary while AI generated video plays. Disgusted I immediately close it.
I'm now interested in the topic so I search for more videos, hoping to find a legit one from a semi reputable channel, after all, surely many actual people or organizations have made videos on that topic.
Search results: Page after page of AI trash or completely unrelated shite. Not s single real video made by an actual person on the topic, when surely hundreds if not thousands of those exist.
The site is completely unusable to find or discover anything of actual value. Even if you seek out something specifically you can't find it.
Unless you have a direct link to a channel or video, the site is basically just a gigantic morass of shite.
The near unanimous opinion is that YouTube is significantly worse in every way over the past decade. It's shite on purpose.
We need an updated guaranteed list:
Death, taxes, and enshittification of technology.

You should check out “Are you Garbage?” on YouTube.

There's still good content but you have to wade through the crap to find it.

And we lost the dislike counter to protect the feelings of the Biden administration and corporate entertainment.

I like the ai slop bible videos where Moses looks like Sean Connery.
Youtube is also constantly like, "HEY DO YOU WANT TO SEE CLIPS FROM SUITS??? EVERYONE LOVES SUITS. SUITS AND BILLIONS. HERE ARE 10 CLIPS FROM EACH YOU'RE WELCOME"

You get the privilege of watching 2 advertisements before realizing it’s going to be Ai-slop.

I cant believe you got all these upvotes. Youtube I would pay more than any other streaming service tbh

it's a huge problem. youtube is a treasure trove of amazing content, but for every well made engaging video there are 5-10 horrible ones on the same topic. AI slop and low effort content creators.

This is true but the problem is Youtube has made ii intentionally harder to do that.
Any platform that has user generated content most of the content is bad so you have to have good tools to help people find the quality stuff.
Youtube has intentionally gone the other way, they go out of their way to show you what is most profitable to them rather than what you are actually looking for. You wasting an hour to find what you are looking for makes them way more money than if you found it right away. They are incentivized to show you endless trash.

Trevor Bauers stuff is cool. Also the bat dudes who try different bats is fun to watch or old football games. It’s not totally useless.

Youtube's search function is trash. Search for what you want on Google, then click the YouTube link that pops up.
