I meant labels such as "educational", "funny", "thirst-inducing" or "sexy", as opposed to just thumbs-up / thumbs-down.

Sure, but it has the same problems. Who makes the labels, and do you trust that consensus? It would simply take seeing some cryptocurrency cult webinar being labeled "educational" or something to that effect before suddenly the labels become as much noise as the "related videos" section (made up over half of your recommendations instead of related videos).

It could also go the other way. Add a "misinformation" label and suddenly everything is misinformation, from Jordan Peterson speeches to live recorded NASA space launches to Spongebob clips.

I agree it's an imperfect solution, but I do think in very broad strokes it would move the needle in the right direction. Surely a video about engine repair that one only finds when searching the specific make and model would garner fewer 'sexual' votes than a music video or thirst trap.
