Just weird clickbait with fake makeup and prosthetics completely unrelated to what I’m searching

Youtube’s search function has been complete shit for a long time now anyway, you get like three actual search results before it starts showing you shorts, videos you’ve already watched and stuff from your recommendations

      Youtube has been doing this to me for 10 years now. Blocking channels, videos, and pausing search history mitigates it only little. As time goes on it seemingly helps less and less.
