youtube search is problematic. i very often get videos on top that are auto-generate spam with AI narration and random clips (often completely irrelevant to the subject). there are videos i know that aren't shown even when i search with title and channel name.

Google wants to be too relevant , to the point it s unusable

Search is unusable.


Recently getting pimple poppers and onlyfans when searching for small engine repair.

It's better than the Rogan and IDW spam I was getting a few weeks ago.


> Recently getting pimple poppers

Ye for like two weeks. Searching for Lady Gaga or whatever, get those disgusting video thumb nails in the result.

It is impossible to not look at the thumb nails since they are so disgusting. I wonder if that feeds the ranking somehow?


Exactly why they work. It’s all about the almighty ad dollar.
