For me YouTube is always on the top, instead of the text pages where I can read the answer in a few seconds Google pushes me their video platform, probably in the hope of making money. I am logged in so I do not understand how those geniuses working at Google would think that videos in a language I do not know might be more relevant then text content.

To be fair, i have the same problem with Duck.

I wish i could backlist sites from my search results. YouTube and Pinterest are not helpful for the things i look for.

How great is your wish? If you host your own instance of Whoogle, which gives Google search results, you can set one of the environment variables to block particular websites from search results.
You can blacklist domains and adjust the rank of sites in your results on Kagi.com
