This year, one of the best things I did for my mental health and productivity was deleting the YouTube app. It's mostly slop and the algorithm will push the most inane click-baity content in the world to get you hooked up. And now Google is even encouraging AI slop. All sprinkled with crypto/investment schemes, gambling, or whatever immoral kind of ads Google can legally get away with.
The handful of good channels remaining are not worth the massive waste of life.
