Okay now get rid of the in-video ads and AI slop and I might consider actually using a first-party interface again.

uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock works just fine. When it comes to AI content, just ignore it and it'll dissapear from your recommendations.

For virtually everything wrong with youtube there's an add-on to fix it or a behavior to change. So many people can't help but watch short-form content for example and then they complain their feed is all shorts - I wonder why.

I think you may have overlooked the part about "first party interface".

It is still a first party web interface.
