How do you find it, all I seem to get is trash and if I have to hear the phrase "like and subscribe" one more time I'll scream?
Ironically that is how you get better content. If you don't engage and let the algorithm find you content, you're going to get generic crap. Unfortunately. You can use logged-in Youtube to find stuff and NewPipe to watch it.
I have to agree with this. As much as we all hate the algorithm because it's what brings us those thumbnails and annoying begging from creators it actually works. It just takes time to find some good people. Though I wouldn't mind a post on lemmy with everyone sharing their favorites.

Not sure why people are downvoting you, fuck them. I love several of those channels. Especially "in a nutshell".
I said something somewhere that pissed off someone who's probably got more than one account. No worries.
Use sponsorblock and you won't get any of that like and subscribe shit.
what are you interested in? everytime I dip my toe into a new interest I'm always blown away by the sheer volume and quality available on YouTube. right now I'm using it to supplement duolingo to help learn a new language, something I never tried before
There's been like 3 Spiritbox music videos released this week alone!
