YouTube is interesting but it is in my experience is tamable with a lot of 'buts'. What I find ironic is that the algorithm is so sensitive to keeping you engaged, you can have the opposite effect and, instead of being barraged with clickbait at random, you're left with hyper-similar content to what you've previously watched, to the point that the variety becomes so narrow that you can't escape without "re-taming" it via text search and subscriptions. I agree completely about clickbait chasing from content creators. There's one guitar based content creator that has gone so far down the rabbit hole that I can't watch them at all any more as the content is just barely about guitar playing.
