It's like 50% ads and 45% similar-searches (which I assume are mostly just subtle ads). So in the end, each search gets you like 2 real results and 38 pieces of bullshit.

Try these ublock rules:

www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-renderer.style-scope:has(span:has-text(/People also watched/i))
www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-renderer.style-scope:has(span:has-text(/Previously watched/i))
www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-renderer.style-scope:has(span:has-text(/Related to your search/i))
www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer.style-scope:has-text(/Shorts/i)```
