    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?

        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.

        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?
