That’s a good point. However I trained YouTube not to feed me crap, couldn’t skip shorts though. What I did was disable search and watch history and then blocked videos and channels that I didn’t want affecting me ever. In time algorithm figured out what I wanted so I got somewhat related and interesting content. Not all of it but a lot of it since they had to focus on my likes and dislikes instead of watch history. This has now changed.

When I mentioned the algorithm I meant it was too good at understanding what you like and that leads to polarization
You just said you trained it in your own way but you were still using it thus getting polarized just like other people
What I was suggesting is to completely avoid it and just watch what you search and or are subscribed to
