I completely agree.

There's stuff on YouTube that I just can't see existing, or getting noticed, on alternative platforms. A great example would be a channel called 'Primitive Technology'[1]. It's superb, and I really enjoy each video despite having no real interest in the subject!

But, this is 0.01% of YouTube. The rest is horrendous political videos pitched at the level of 4chan, vloggers aimed at 13 year olds, and millions of shaky footage of unboxing items.

I wouldn't mind so much if there was a suitable way to curate a decent feed (without signing in and giving my life history to google). I generally only find out about the decent content on YouTube via word of mouth off-platform.
