Who doesn't have uBlock Origin in this day and age? It blocks essentially every ad that Youtube pushes. Now, if you want no sponsors as well, go for SponsorBlock, it skips parts of the video marked as "sponsor" etc.
Not everyone watches youtube on their computer.

It's not a conspiracy that Google/Youtube search have degraded to near unusable for niche searches. All I can say is that you're probably not searching for anything too specific.
I have searched for specific things a lot. Usually I just search what I remember being in the video rather than what I thought the title was. The right video comes up even when the words I search did not show up in the title or description. Google's ability to search is only just short of being magic. Meanwhile, the products which HN promotes regularly like Mastodon and PeerTube fail to find things with directly sear…
Results get exponentially worse the more pages in you go. By page 3 the only results are ISP's. Basically if it isn't on page 1, it's just padding almost totally unrelated to what you were looking for.

> I'm sure the YT PMs have proof that this improves engagement. I sometimes wonder if the opposite is true - that the PMs can convince the upper managment that users are staying on the website longer with all those stupid as fuck shit changes, but in reality they are there longer because it's increasingly more difficult to find anything you are looking for Sort of 'When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a g…
Yes, like the way modern shopping centres seem to be designed to disorient.
YouTube's search is horrible. No, I don't want "related results" that are completely unrelated to my query, neither results from my country when I specifically type in English and my whole UI is in English and I never watch non-English content while logged in.

This. There's a lot youtubers from my country who has crap content presented in a cringey way.
Like, if I search for "second order vibrations in internal combustion engine", I get hundreds of people explaining it in local languages I don't even speak, in a way that's targeted at college students cramming for finals (think equations on a notepad without explaining what physically goes on).
Makes me wanna leave this place. That would be funny, isn't it? Emigrating because local YouTube content is cringe.
(I turned off all tracking things that can be turned off from their UI, but I suppose they can still figure out where I'm from unless I use a VPN).
To improve search results on Google, append site:reddit.com to your query :)
