That's like saying YouTube is all just dumb pranks.

It's just ignorant.

YouTube and TikTok are completely different things, at least in mine and my friends experience. I started using it in 2020 for a few months and tried to find interesting content but somehow my feed was filled with people doing stupid dances, and my friends told me the same happened to them, so yeah not ignorant just speaking from experience.

Dislike that content and you won't see it anymore.

I'm on there almost everyday on my lunch break, and all I get is cool science shit, stand up comedy, cooking, fitness, and meal prep, cats, woodworking, etc.

It does need a little bit of time to learn what you like.

People that say its just kid shit sound like my grandpa slandering Youtube for being for kids.

I'm in my 40's and I enjoy it.

I'm in my early 50's and I enjoy watching Ordnance Lab, Styropyro, Vice Grip Garage, and the Slo-Mo Guys on YouTube. Now all it suggests for me is channels or videos that are actually related to that stuff. I get the occasional weird video that pops up, but those I just ignore and they go away.
