In my experience, you have to be incredibly selective with what you watch. The entirety of what I watch on there is makerspace type crafts, misc educational content, and the occasional video game, with ideally the least emotional commentary possible.

Yes I consume a ton of YouTube but that's because I have a ton of professional and personal niche interests. It does take a ton of curation and just general awareness and education about this type of content to sift through the piles of shit but when you do there is real gold there. Also great for having in the background when I'm working on the PC.

Sorry this took so long to reply to! I was keeping it unread until I could rebuild my homelab server.

Thank you so much for these recommendations. I added them all to my list

All good. I do the exact same thing with keeping things unread.
