Only thing I use youtube for is tech repair videos and listening to music.
I think most likely the people who go to look for 'top creators' are teenage girls looking for a popular 'celeb'.

That said, I moderated my subs and feed for years. A newcomer with no youtube harnessing experience has no chance to avoid the default chamber.
And there is no way to moderate feed except of not watching bad videos. For example I was baited once at some lo-fi music jam video from small channel (I always appreciate <3k channels) and now I have ton of that music but with decreasing of my favorite science topic. I never listen music on Youtube because the choice is both poor and random and I hope my feed stops being spammed with jam topics after few weeks.
You can unwatch a video by x-ing it in history. Together with dislike and “not interested” this works very well for me. “Don’t recommend channel” does work too.
