And the algorithm seems to prioritize videos that have extraordinarily lame and over-processed preview images and comically dramatic titles.

I personally like the boring deep-dive technical videos. The people uploading these videos don't seem to give a damn about the latest hip SEO buzzwords to use (and, frankly, good) but I have to go out of my way to hunt them down.

YouTube really, really likes shoving Mr. Beast, LTT, and other channels at me, but I couldn't be any less interested, and filter them out with an add-on.

I can't wait for a replacement platform for the boring technical content. Until that platform exists, I recommend looking at DeArrow. It at least fixes titles and preview images.
