Matt BlazeThis may be obvious, but I recently started routinely adding "-youtube" to google searches. This eliminates most pages with links to garbage YouTube-monetized videos that try to attract people looking for basic instructions on how to do simple things. Greatly improves the quality of search results.

@mattblaze I did a YouTube video on that ages ago
@davep Did you use a synthesized voice and show only screenshots? Because if not, you're wasting a lot if effort.
@mattblaze Seriously though, I use -site:sitename.tld when getting swamped. Didn't know you could leave out the site: bit.
@davep the advantage of “-youtube” over “-site:youtube.com” is the former excludes landing pages that link to YouTube clickbait. Obviously all this increasingly also risks excluding legit results, but what’s left tends to be better quality.

Oh geez, that's something I've seen a lot when researching circuit design and quite frequently, they scraped content that doesn't belong to them to make the video, word for word.
