For me, it depends on the topic of the video.
E.g. there are "full courses" about "learning HTML/CSS" or "Svelte" or anything frontend development related, that work for me.
And I don't watch any youtube video on youtube anymore, but only use an invidious server, like yewtu.be - works like a charme (most of the time).
No ads, no tracking, no algorithm \o/
Of course, it all depends on the context. A tutorial for a specific knitting stitch can be done in under 5 minutes, other stuff not so much! There was also an interesting thread somewhere yesterday asking why don't people use their subscription feed on YT and the answers were a good representation of the user base here, ie: most do use it and avoid the algo at all costs! So I think we're all on the same page here, we search and use YT in a way that is most efficient but not the most common :)
