 YouTube has gotten progressively worse at providing what I am looking for.

Classic memes, gone forever. I was just looking for the video of CSW with a sword and could only find a clip without audio. 

This seems to happen to me once a month now where I can't find what I'm looking for.

 Search is close to unusable. It's declined so much over the past 10 years. It's complete trash and propaganda now with limited legitimate results. They likely save a lot on computing though.

Also, if you think YouTube is bad, try google out. Search any topic and see how many results you're given and how many of those are unique and not some pre-approved state sponsored source. The big internet is completely dead, rotten, and captured.

 Agreed. I felt Google really fall off a cliff in 2020, but I'm sure the decline started before that.

 Google search same. Highly curated propaganda.
Opt out.
