YouTube already knows how to fix it. All they have to do is revert to their pre-2016 recommendation engine. They panicked when they along with the other socials thought they somehow got Trump elected and they kludged their algorithm to death. After that it’s just been one ham fisted patch after another. Personally I think all of the people who knew how the previous system worked are gone by now, pushed out by demands use the algorithm to shape user behaviour. Now it’s just whoever doesn’t have a moral problem with such scummy practices which is likely a basket of juniors and ideologues that barely know how to glue code together.
