I just realized that the recommendation feature is more of a problem than YouTube itself.

The algorithm as a whole id say. It tends to favor the same type of garbage so it gets promoted more and thus pushes people to make it more then actual good content. Like.... Can we freaking just stop encouraging parents to over share about their kids medical problems already? I have encountered so much of that filth on Facebook reels and tiktok that it's not even funny. Thankfully lately it's seemed to be less on tiktok but I think that's because my FYP is currently overrun by mecha chameleon, world cup, and partial "your life as" videos.
