Only on EV? It's hard to find reliable informacion between 99% influencer crap and bullshit. YT is good for music and some movies which someone had uploaded, little else.
There's plenty of good quality content on YouTube but you actually have to subscribe to the good stuff. If you would like exclusively on the recommended videos you'll watch utter crap
I know that you need to subscribe reliable info channels, which I have done. Naturally there is good content on YT, but this, among the amount of content there is... how much? 1%-2%, maybe 3%? Trusted source is something else
The problem is that those nuggets of content are near impossible to find on today's YouTube unless you had found them before all the ai bloat channels using ai to crank out videos of nothing.
How does clicking “subscribe” get you any better content from yt? Less clicks? Sure. Good stuff, no.
Or do you mean YT premium?
You subscribe to stuff you like and then it shows you more of that stuff and less of the general dross what do you confuse about?
There's a button at the bottom of the app and on the left of the web page that says "Subscriptions".
I get that, but how does that get you better content?? It’s no different if you sub or don’t sub to a channel
Que? Good channels are good channels. Some of these people have standards and stick to them. Like Project Farm and Essential Craftsman.
Like I thought.
Subscribing does not do anything special other than bookmark channels. It does not give you better content at all which is why none of the responses make any sense.
If you only subscribe to good content creators, you no longer have the click bait garbage recommendations. It's not a bookmark. It's a separate feed.
Ahhh, I don’t remotely use recommendations. So no wonder why I don’t understand.
YouTube used to be good for music until they put 2 ads before AND after EVERY VIDEO!
I know this comes off as "old man yelling at clouds" but there used to be a time when there were NO ads on YouTube. You could make an entire playlist of songs without having to hear a single ad.
Novadays not even a Playlist, without YT paused it after some pieces or in the middle of those, which also need an extension to skip this, apart of another extension to avoid the clickbaits in most of the videos. As least, YT only with a good adblocker + the uFrame script + YT Nonstop or similar (depends on the store) + Clickbait Remover, as basics, or otherwise and better frontends (before Google kills these all) Piped, Invidious, PokeTube, or desktop, apps like MotionBox Video Browser (the best, but shitty UI), FreeTube or at least SMplayer. YT lacks a really alternative, the only I know which in ammount of content can it be in the future is Odysee, PeerTube is nice but the ammount of content...mhe. Only for music I use this one sometimes, there genres for every taste and mood 24/7 nonstop https://www.internet-radio.com , well in the browser or also with downloadable m3u files in any mediaplayer.
