I have a premium account and have a pretty reliable feed. From the start I have curated my subs and rejected all wacko, RW nut job, psuedoscience, scammy, or AI slop accounts. After 10 years I seldom see anything in my feed that is objectionable. Then again, I seldom add channels these days unless I have vetted them. I don't see ads, except the ones run by the creators themselves in their videos (I got a premium account specifically to AVOID ads).

Recently I searched on videos on cataract surgery as a friend was about to get the surgery and what it offered up looked reputable (accounts that have large followings, with active relevant comments, and whose IDs checked out when subjected to verification). Now, I am being offered a lot of other channels discussing eye issues, cataracts, surgical options pre/post-op advice. As I found the information I needed, I ignore them and they start to fade the days go by.
