Append "before:2020" to your search queries to get better results.

Because Youtube Shorts was launched in 2020 to compete with TikTok and
shortly after in 2021 dislikes were dropped and the quality of videos nose-dived.
Google's Youtube index is shit. And 'before:2020' makes searching on
Youtube a little bearable. But you will not get latest videos. Currently
Brave has an acceptable index for Youtube that you can access by appending 'site:youtube.com' to a query in Brave Search. If anyone know a better
Youtube index, please let me know. Thank you.
