    That’s a good point. However I trained YouTube not to feed me crap, couldn’t skip shorts though. What I did was disable search and watch history and then blocked videos and channels that I didn’t want affecting me ever. In time algorithm figured out what I wanted so I got somewhat related and interesting content. Not all of it but a lot of it since they had to focus on my likes and dislikes instead of watch history. This has now changed.

        That’s what I did actually. However in times of boredom new thematically suggested content was useful.
