This is no shade against uncle dane or jontohil2, this is probably just youtube's fault

The videos being paid is not YT's choice, the channel owner must've set that specifically on those ranks for those videos.

Being visible despite being unavailable, seen 4149743 times before, plain crap, obvious junk with 45 views on a 2 sub channel, already specifically hidden, already specifically blocked, etc. etc etc etc etc... those are definitely Youtube though.

BlockTube may have a feature for this, it addresses some of those other cases. Or you could potentially hack together a uBlock rule for it ("any video on the front page that has this stupid price tag thing")
