I feel like youtube has become way too professional now every video has a meme edit every two seconds and is overedited, there's too much drama and everything feels generic or the same. And that's probably happening because more people are using YouTube these days and are using the formula of what seems to gain them the most views which was why clickbait and drama posting is so popular

Yes and no.
Yes: I have what I don't want to watch beamed at me by the algorithm.
No: It's still a bountiful collection of beautiful art, fascinating essays and the like.
My suggestion is to replace YouTube's job and create a database of creators you are interested in and keep tabs on them.
On that note Glitch Productions premises a new show today https://youtu.be/IC8KsZniulw?si=3xMfMCSaR3colXBv

It's not really that bad to me, probably because all I watch are funny videos, walkthroughs & the like.

Honestly. That's just the algorithm working against you. It took a lot of "don't recommend this channel" reports just for me to not see suicide squad cutscenes. Best you can do is a purge. Binge watch cat videos and funny gameplay YouTubers until that's all you are recommended
