They become good if you use youtube a lot and subscribed to a lot of channels. After some time they become really, scary good.
I just use newpipe, subscribe to all the channels I care about and watch them. To discover new people I use the fediverse
I am borderline worshipping the algorithm for constantly bringing me new music to dig. A good 80% of the artists I've picked up in the last few years came as recommended by youtube or GPM/YT Music. And we aren't just talking well known artists, either. Lots of good indie shit too! Idk, I guess if the internet is going to be allowed to know anything about me, it's gonna be my music tastes.
