Is there something new they are doing to hobble it (your use of the word "now" suggests so)? The last things I can think of they did to ruin it is surfacing Shorts and "you may also like" results, but the results themselves were completely broken for many years now (my favourite is when doing a search within a channel, looking for e.g. "Let's play Factorio Episode 98" which will return episodes 97,98 and 101, but not 98 no matter how far you scroll down in the results. If you want to find episode 98, naturally you should search for episode 99 and then it will appear).
