YouTube's search algo sucks so bad I can't even use it for basic search anymore. It's ridiculous.
Back in the day I could use three random keywords and find exactly the video I wanted.
Now I need to have the exact title of the video and I still scroll three pages of slop to find what I want. Many of the videos I love seem to be lost in history and I wish I had downloaded them.
Has anyone found an alternative that works?
