I use freetube to kinda help deal with it but it is still a real issue. Even something like internet browser comparison videos are filed with AI voice overs and no real human input.

    For YouTube, I've switched to Grayjay and I just subscribe to creators I like. I ignore the home feed.

    This has removed AI slop, ads, and shorts, which is awesome, but I the tradeoff is jot having a useful recommendation feed. Its not as good as YouTube of old, but worlds better than YouTube of the last few years.
