I so wish youtube would have a more powerful search.

Can I have something better then 'longer then 20min'? Like there are tons of things that go up to 3h or more. And often I might want 1h content but the 'longer then 20min' shows tons of stuff that is some 22min video.

I have noticed a pattern by YouTube's algorithm with long videos.

When I play a long video, for example synthwave music to get myself nostalgic with the '80s, I can see the suggested videos on my right are either of the same range or even longer than expected!

You cannot imagine how many diamonds I have discovered like that, which makes me very happy! ^_^

You know, I've noticed the same thing but I never really "noticed" it, if you follow. It's almost like they bin the videos by length in the suggestion algorithm.

Also when I search, it shows me about 5 search results, 5 videos related to my search that I may like, and then... recommendations?

Yes. This pisses me off too.
