it recommends things that you’d watch, here’s some videos from my recommendations:
are you only looking for videos via the trending tab?
though most of the other points are valid, I just wanted to point this one out because it seems obviously wrong, I remember that I used to never see low-view videos when I first used youtube
some of the points I agree with, I am not a youtube shill
- shorts should never have been added, it is obvious that youtube was just chasing trends again when it was added
- no dislikes: youtube removes a good feature for no (good) reason (their ego); they did the same for:
-
- community captions, making disabled viewers stuck with the shitty auto-generated captions while youtube partnered with captioning companies so that they could sell youtubers captioning services
-
- new annotations, followed by removing the old ones after telling people that they would not be deleted
- demonetizing youtubers for swearing, this is likely a reaction to the repeated elsagate scandals, where ad companies pulled their ads, hurting youtube’s revenue, (and therefore causing less money towards creators) in my opinion this is likely youtube trying to keep up a facade towards ad companies despite:
- not being able to solve the many elsagate videos that continue to exist on their platform, especially in languages other than english
