Ironically that is how you get better content. If you don't engage and let the algorithm find you content, you're going to get generic crap. Unfortunately. You can use logged-in Youtube to find stuff and NewPipe to watch it.

I have to agree with this. As much as we all hate the algorithm because it's what brings us those thumbnails and annoying begging from creators it actually works. It just takes time to find some good people. Though I wouldn't mind a post on lemmy with everyone sharing their favorites.

Not sure why people are downvoting you, fuck them. I love several of those channels. Especially "in a nutshell".

I said something somewhere that pissed off someone who's probably got more than one account. No worries.
