>Agreed. Discovery is a big problem with youtube.

As well as with their parent Google. Did you know the minus sign is meaningless in the search now? Man, Google search is so useless now I'd actually pay a monthly fee (up to $10) for them to give me a bloody regex based search.

Kagi does not have regex but it does have some basic booleans, wildcard, and most important, exact word searching that actually has an effect: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/search-operators.html#se...

Please pay Kagi then, it would be a better world online and offline if we started rewarding the good-faith actors for once. That you're already willing to cough up for it is encouraging, just take that last step. Their browser is sick too (Orion) if you're of the Apple persuasion.

I pay for kagi and think it's great. Their browser has been too buggy for everyday use but I try it occasionally to see progress.

I was surprised to hear that the minus was meaningless, but turns out that no, it does still work

I tried multiple times and it hasn't worked for me in years. I tried again now and it seems it "sometimes" works. Specifically it seems that it works for some keywords and not others.

You might like Kagi in that case. I've not really used them, but they have a lot of customisation options and they charge for their product.
