I miss when I could search youtube for "cats" and I'd get just raw cat footage.

Now I get cat influencers and influencers selling me on them ... while they tell me how to pick a cat. Maybe I find kinda raw cat footage, with a title that is misleading, annoying music, text bubbles popping all over it :(

I just want what I searched for ... youtube doesn't give me that.

It's not that unlike when I open the home page, I've no control and so much of that isn't what I'm looking for...



Sometimes it helps to use intitle:cats and other advanced search operators https://granwehr.com/blog/youtube-search-operators

For me it's 3 videos of what I searched for and then it just goes to my normal recommended. One of the issues I still haven't fixed with an extension so I just search videos via normal web search.
