YouTube is still useful. It's a giant repository of videos that get
indexed by search engines.
The way to use it is:
1) know what you want to watch beforehand
2) search using a different engine like DDG
3) use yt-dl to grab the video and watch offline
The mistake would be to "log in" to the actual site, and click on the
"recommended" rubbish and all that algorithmic cruft to manipulate,
data-mine your soul and mislead you.
