Does anyone else find YouTube's search near-unusable for some topic domains?

• antegamisou 3y ago
  I can search for a specific term and a few scrolls later I'll get videos I previously watched or liked as search results, which never have any relevance to the term I entered.

  Yes, it's been like this for a long time now...

  I think search includes words mentioned within the video and comments. Often prioritising this over a title and description. This leads to bad results finding things.

  This is deliberate. It's probably for the same reasons why comments are arbitrarily sorted and why live chat always sorts by "Top" rather than "Newest" (whatever "Top" even means to YouTube, idk)
