The trick is to search for stuff you like

Well therein lies the problem. I don't know what to search for.

And when I do think of something, most of the time I'll get maybe 4 or 5 results for semi-related content that I'm not interested in, and then the remaining results are completely unrelated crap that the algorithm thinks I want to watch. I've heard that over 700,000 hours worth of video are uploaded every single day, but apparently I'm not allowed to actually search for them.

Instead we get the same old videos we've already seen in our feed. I'm so tired of fighting the system...
