For me its 98% mindless brain numbing garbage thats on the homepage.
I don't log in but until I start looking for something, it all looks like its aimed at pre-teens and adults that still think like pre-teens.
Garbage music, sports, gossip, Ellen Degenerate and late night TV talk shows meant to brainwash.
And as for "news", its all establishment propaganda from the big networks.
But I watch utube like I used to watch TV. My roommates have cable with hundreds of channels, but there's not much on there compared to utube.
98% is being a bit conservative isn't it? 99.9999% is more like it every time I've blundered on to their 'hellpage'
FWIW once you hook up to a few good Youtubers and their links and comments recommending other tubers,
you can do fine for ages without any of 'YouTube's 'Recomended' recomendations'
and IMHO still beats
"cable with hundreds of channels" of mostly drivel that seems to appeal to multitudes of numbskulls,
repeats, BS panel blab, and facepalm worthy 'new' movies and shows

As mentioned somewhere by our EEVblog host, Youtube needs some competition
...to get off their overconfident butt, drain the staff swamp, lose the obvious paid trolls and shills, and get serious about running their business,
or flog it for a realistic price to someone that can
Perhaps decadent cable shareholders have sunk some funny money into Youtube and 'advising' YT admin to do 'things' that make cable a better option for the paying decent folk?
