It's full of annoying idiots like Jake/Logan Paul who try way too hard to appeal to kids and end up being extremely loud and cringy. There's a lot of extremely good content on YouTube though, you just have to look for it (aka not use the Trending tab)
Speaking of Logan and Jake Paul, they exploit the algorithm and draw up controversy to get more views. Remember when Jake showed a dead body on screen in a Japanese suicide forest, apologized, got more views, and dominated the news? That is how they get views, by drumming up controversy harmlessly through cringy rap battles, or through doing something to get in the news. Any publicity is good publicity, and toxicity is very easily able to contaminate the site.
And speaking of the Trending tab, nobody cares about those videos. If you look over there, you get the same kind of traditional entertainment that you get on the telly. Clips of late night talk shows and such.
And forget about the kids' videos! YouTube Kids videos are to children's entertainment as candy is to food. Addictive? Yes. Healthy? No.
