What the fuck happened to YouTube!?

I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was "Nick Swardson loitering". There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.

Is this really what it's come to? Ads are more important than what I'm actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?

Where do you go for random videos and passing time watching things you're interested in?

Playeur is alright, they need a few more big creators to join, but some of my favorite firearms channels have gone over there, and I discovered a botany channel on there I had never seen before.
