Yup. Search reveals two or three relevant videos but from that point on the search results are indistinguishable from the regular feed. And I get the same video recommended to me all the time. Sometimes back to back!

If you’re not watching ads, you’re worthless to Youtube. Scrolling through search results wouldn’t increase revenue.

YouTube doesn't show you ads if you buy Premium.

You need the YouTube Pro Max+ Platinum bundle to get functional search.

Yeah, search doesn't work at all. It does seem like it pulls up specific channels if you put "ch" in the search text, so I tend to go from there.
