I think it is very good cutting edge technology. For YouTube, YouTube is optimizing for YouTube's benefit.

The problem is YouTube has no competition. If you can't find what you want on YouTube, you'll just watch something else... On YouTube.

Enshitification if you like. There is no feedback loop to improve the quality of their search.

YouTube has no competition because nobody can make competition profitable.

The barrier to entry is insurmountable. You have to operate at insane scales to turn a profit and you'd burn literal billions to get there.
