YouTube is an amazing library, but you must absolutely know what you're looking for.
The search algorithms have been cleaned up a bit in the last year, e.g., a search of "is the earth round" now pulls up a majority of actual astronomy vids debunking flat earth, but still serious junk in the top 10. But a year or two ago, it was 80%+ junk. Similar for Chemtrails. So they're making progress on the fake news.
But the autoplay and recommendations just run off the rails in a hurry. These should just be shut down until they can put enough intelligence behind them to actually keep making sense (i.e., a very long time).
But unlikely to happen, since autoplay generates more eyeball-seconds, and the costs of bad wormholes are external to Alphabet . . .
