They have pretty much almost no competition. No incentive to improve.
>>106977958 (OP)
its seriously astounding how shit its gotten. there has been ZERO improvement since like 2016. it peaked then and ever since, every new "feature" is either more censorship or a shittier more bloated UI
i get now where i watch my subs and try to go back to the home page and it's empty. wtf? refresh refresh refresh refresh bam 100 new videos to watch. most of them crap that i just end up blocking or whatever, but why didn't they just show me those to begin with?
pic related. fresh login with a clear browser history. totally empty home page.
i rarely even get the ribbon at the top with the keywords and the New to You button any more. why would that button ever not be there? why wouldn't they always have the button that shows you things they know 100% for sure that you haven't watched yet?
>>106978523
oh and also my subs list is no longer alphabetized. it seems like it's rearranged based on whose video i watched last.
who the fuck thought that was a good idea? how does that person still have a job?
>>106977993
This. Where is everyone going to go? Odysee? LMAO! Unless another site pays as much as YouTube and offers as big of an audience as YouTube, people will stay on YouTube regardless of how shit it gets.

This is the truth of it. People bitch and moan for a little while as their freedom gets taken away. Pretty soon they get used to in and accept it. They are literally going through the stages of grief rather than jumping ship. They like their funko pop review videos that much. The root problem is that they are a peasant class who cant stop consooming. Therefore they will always be under the boot.

Youtube is a natural monopoly. All content creators upload to Youtube because that's where all the viewers are, and all the viewers are on youtube because that's where all the content creators are. There may be other sites, but they will never dethrone Youtube, regardless of how bad it gets because of this.

All it'll do is restrict you from watching Adult Content (sexy videos and rated R movies).
If you don't care about anonymity, the credit card is easiest.
You could try to be cheeky and take a selfie of some random dude's face, but that might be illegal? Dunno. The email option is basically giving a third party receipts to your inbox that'll look for whether or not you are paying bills or shit like that to verify you are an adult.
>>106977993
This isn't the problem. People think Youtube is a service, but it isn't. Youtube is a library of content, and unless some other platform has Youtube's library then there can be no competition.
>go to not!Youtube
>"hello yes I am looking for [funny video]"
>"sorry, we don't have that, it was only uploaded to Youtube. Go back there, or something."
And people upload to Youtube to begin with because that's where all the people are, and the people are there because that's where people upload. It's a vicious cycle and the only way to break it would be either a massive migration of content, or a massive deletion of content, or new rules that would make further uploading/viewing of content impossible.

Its a lot more than that. Youtube loves to arbitrarily age restrict videos for no reason. I found out I was ID required by attempting to watch one of those innocuous "why is this age restricted" videos.
They are fucking up thr mobile page constantly as well. This time they took away fullscreen button, so you can't escape fullscreen, need to lock and unlock the phone.

Whoever you watched recently, you probably have more interest in, so they float to the top. The channels you haven't watched recently sink down. The channels that haven't posted in ages drop to the bottom. If you click on the "Subscriptions >" link you can sort the full list by name/activity/relevance.
Strictly alphabetizing doesn't necessarily work because channels change their name all the time.
I'm surprised they don't have the ability to sort subscriptions into categories.

WRONG. There is a reason megacorps can't just get into anything they want. Windows and amazon phones failed while apple and google succeeded. Apple, amazon and google failed at gaming while microsoft (eh) succeeded. Apple and google are failing at desktop os. Apple is failing at ai while microsoft is succeeding. The key is network effects. No one will leave youtube no matter how many good features the new site has unless there is a strong enough network effect that people publishing their videos while find new viewers. Tiktok succeeded because it was a way to find young people.

In a lot of ways it already has failed. Don't know if things have changed but they've always been unprofitable and its been 20 years. Google only keeps it so they can get everyone data, and because they're evil. In all honesty no other video site could do what youtube does because it would cost so much money. Even yt has had to cut back on things like now the max video length is 24 hours.

That has literally nothing to do with my point. I'm saying no one could just replace youtube by trying doesn't matter how much money they spend unless they literally paid people a ton of money not to use it. What matters is whether or not the userbase leaves of their own volition and chooses to never come back. Which is extremely unlikely so long as youtube maintains the basics of allowing people to upload and view videos.

If they kept the comment scroll, but only partially covering the video, it would've been useful. They could even keep recommendations down the side. (pic)

The worst part about platforms like these is that the choice simply is not yours.
I don't get to decide where the person I like uploads their videos. So even if I change, I have to wait for everyone else to as well.
It's the same problem as chat services/clients, I don't get to decide what the other person uses, we are forced to either not engage with each other or compromise.
I don't know how to solve this problem, especially considering the platform owners specifically do not want to make exporting or cross platform integrations easy. They want you vendor locked in, they want to exploit this fact.

I enjoy it when NPC lives get ruined by sloppified access to zoomer brainrot. I hope it gets worse and you end up roping over it.
completely unusable without ublock and blocktube
if you ever shut these off it's unbelievable how bad it immediately gets
there's ads shoved in EVERYWHERE
and every single channel or video you've clicked DON'T RECOMMEND on 100+ times is now suddenly plastered all over the place
the end cards are always just insanely inappropriate/shit content.
it's like hey we see you just finished watching a comfy travel vlog, or a home remodeling documentary, how would you like to see people getting the SHIT kicked out of them by police next?

Y'know it's interesting how Blahaj has transcended popularity in trans culture. Here it is in a YouTube short with 3.4M views (literally the normie web), yet I've also seen it fondly spoken of in the most insular, schizo, and politically extreme corners of the trans community.
In contrast to the Linux community, where on more socialized parts of the internet Debian is considered a great choice -- and in others you shouldn't even touch certain init systems or sudo with a ten foot pole. There is no introductory or advanced IKEA stuffed animal, it's just Blahaj.
For a group people majorly defined by their commitment to using the internet for large portions of time, I'm surprised the stubborn contrarian stereotype is noticeably absent for this meme.

Every site that serves videos with an algorithm needs to grab attention so shock content like car crashes, deaths, public drama, police incidents, true crime, and war footage is everywhere. Can't believe things have become so retarded that the whole normalfag sphere has regressed back to mid-2000s jumpscare shit except they can't show porn so instead you get served a video of someone dying in Ukraine or a minivan getting t-boned by an 18-wheeler as if that's an ok alternative.

because the site doesn't live on people getting what they want, curating their feed. it lives on ENGAGEMENT and getting so pissed off at a video that you click "DON'T SHOW ME MORE OF THIS GARBGE" is ENGAGEMENT

I just want to know what they gain from fucking up the search functionality so bad.
Every search engine blows now, this is common knowledge. Doesn't matter if it's Google or Bing or even Yandex, they all conveniently started to suck ass at finding relevant results around the same time. Can't have the unwashed masses learning about things from sources not approved by the ministry of truth after all.
As reprehensible as that is I understand that they were probably paid big bucks to do so and at the end of the day that's all a corporation cares about.
What do they gain by fucking up youtube search though?
It's insane how often I want to find an old or obscure video and I simply can't. The top results are videos from youtube superstar faggots with a gorillion subscribers where the term I searched for is either completely or only barely related.
After that you get a bunch of "shorts" clogging up the results because we gotta compete with tiktok on the same platform as our long form content for some reason.
Beyond that you're officially in no mans land where nothing is related to your query and 90% of the videos are presented by ganesh kumar speaking in some unholy combination of hindi and english. Ganesh has kindly titled the video and tagged it in English so that all those western hindi speakers get to enjoy his content too.
I don't get it. Was there really that much forbidden knowledge hidden away on yt that they needed to lobotomize search?
They already censor stuff by straight up removing it from the results page, surely that would have sufficed if they just wanted to suppress certain things. Instead they went full scorched earth and now no-one can find anything.
I just wish I had the foresight to see this coming before it happened so I could have at the very least bookmarked those cool videos if not use yt-dlp and save them.

I just started a couple of playlists and now they hid the save button in the burger menu, the save button doesn't show if you already saved the video, the save to box has such a small max height that it only shows 4 playlists without scrolling and if you want to add a video to 2 or more playlists you have to reopen the thing after every add.
I was able to write a simple script to increase the height of the save to box at least but I'm no software dev.

That's because no competition is allowed.
All of these social media sites are a massive monopoly for the same purpose that Television has served for other 90 years. In this era of internet media, they created the illusion of "possibilities" with the ability of user interaction.
You could be the next Asmongold!, You could be the next million dollar sex Celebrity! All you have to do is sign up and stream yourself!
The secret behind MLM schemes/scams is that the top of the pyramid is locked and the performers are actually salary paid employees who act as bait.

>plenty of alternatives
I use dailymotion (has anime episodes and youtube channel backups), niconico douga (anime and vocaloid), bilibili (has some cool anime musicals, mmd animations and also trailers for stuff that barely makes it out of japan), vimeo (needs more videos but has good stuff too) and maybe reddit (I like the pixel art tutorial animations) and pinterest (has tutorials and also youtube shorts and tiktok anime edits I can save right on my anime boards). They all have some stuff youtube doesn't or at least not in the same form, so even if youtube didn't suck (I got it patched with the ReVanced Manager so from a user's perspective it's fine for me rn) there's still a pull towards other platforms for me.
All video platforms kinda suck though. Except for vimeo (nice UI) and niconico (best fananimations of my favourite anime gacha game that never got an official translation) maybe. I've tried peertube once but didn't find the anime stuff I like on there. Youtube however got very notably worse indeed.

You sort of answered your own question. They probably make the most money by funneling normies towards brainrot shit, so they try to send anyone and everyone towards that garbage for good measure.
They don't care if it makes the site useless and an awful experience for others. Putting normies in front of brainrot content farms is where the money is and nothing else matters to them.

I see what you're saying and it makes sense, it's probably the reasoning behind why they gutted search functionality.
I question how effective that actually is though.
Like if you searched for a specific term involving thinkpads and the only results you're getting are retarded video essays titled "the SHOCKING truth about thinkpads!" or big tech channels shilling whatever gaming laptop has just came out, are you really going to click on those videos and watch them instead of trying to find what you were originally looking for? On top of that are you going to watch them long enough to where your visit will register as a legit view/ad watch?

Easy. Find youtubers you like and upload their content on other sites. Bonus points if you monetize it yourself (may need to be done manually). Eventually they'll get the message and just come to the site out of spite or jealousy.

natural monopoly means there is no space for a competing video platform, just like there is no space for a competing internets (as used to be the case)
network effect implies that the sole reason for its monopoly is that its already popular, which is stupid

I disagree.
SEO existed in 2010 and they still managed to filter that shit and provide search results that were infinitely better than they are now.
It's unlikely that between then and now content farm jeets managed to outsmart top google engineers (back when that title meant something).
Can't even blame AI either because it's only in the last few years that we've reached the point of machine generated articles being able to pass as written by a human.
The people in charge are either actively sabotaging search results or are apathetic to their main product being shit at the one thing it's designed to do.

Natural monopolies are companies people buy from because they're satisfied with the service. Like google search. There are plenty of alternative search engines and all its takes is a click, normal people just don't see any reason to use them. Windows on the other hand has a network effect because even if tons of people hate it they need to go there to get their work essential software.

I wasn't saying seo farms were the culprit while engineers weren't. I'm saying the core issue of search engines isn't that you can't find taboo content its that you can't find even basic innocuous content at all.

Is there a front-end that actually lets you sign in? Maybe it's not considered a front-end at that point but I want to keep by subs without exporting them to some list, and I like the yt recommendations. It's the best way to find videos I like while eating.

The content is getting worse.
It used to be an exception back in the day to get anti-chinese it's over tier videos, now every topic has these style of videos and now there are way to many getting pushed down even thought I don't watch them. YouTube is officially dead YouTube in 2019 was better and it's insane to be saying that yet true, ever since the end of covid it died.

the funniest thing to me personally about YouTube quality going down is i see the low-effort videos that get 400k views and I just think

I've said this before and I'll say this again - youtube destroyed their rec algorithm. They now only cycle through the same five videos/channels and not even hitting "don't recommend channel"/"not interested" helps. These buttons just don't work.
The subscription feed straight up doesn't show some channels any more and the search function is useless. The ONLY way to find a decent video if it's either linked to you directly or the algorithm malfunctions and actually suggests something good.

What alternatives did you like?
I also still mostly use youtube (mostly long vids, somtimes shorts, rarely streams) but occasionally, I also use these:
- Vimeo (USA):
https://vimeo.com/
- Twitch (USA):
https://www.twitch.tv/
- Dailymotion (France, but it's not all in french):
https://www.dailymotion.com/
- PeerTube (decentralised, global):
https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content
- NicoNico Douga (Japan):
https://www.nicovideo.jp/
- Bilibili (China):
https://www.bilibili.com/
- Xiaohongshu (RedNote) (China):
https://www.xiaohongshu.com/
- Douyin (China's TikTok):
https://www.douyin.com/
- Tiktok (It's Douyin but in English):
https://www.tiktok.com/
The Chinese and Japanese stuff probably won't be useful to people here unless they're learning these languages, but I am which makes these sites more appealing to me.
I know this doesn't really fit as an alternative to youtube, but I see people mostly talking about well-known streaming services and piracy rather than regular TV online. For regular TV live broadcasting, I use these:
Pluto (region-specific live tv and VODs, also has anime!):
https://pluto.tv/
PBS (USA, has some internationally streaming stuff too):
https://www.pbs.org/
TV Garden (Global, channels for every country):
https://tv.garden/ (Has the very important Beyblade in Español stream in spain,

I just fucking hate how if your search term includes a brand name or a generic but commonly queried word then the search engine will ignore any other parts of what you entered and zero in on those words in particular.
E.g I was looking for an old video I liked when I was young of a guy doing an optimus prime impression (don't judge me it was hilarious as a 14 year old). I searched for the guys username with "transformer impression" or "optimus prime impression" and of course modern youtube doesn't know what the fuck it's doing so it ignores his username and just serves me videos about transformers.
Didn't matter how specific I made the query the search engine would just decide I'm some kind of mouth breather and I accidentally entered those three other words while trying to search for transformers.
I can deal with 90% of content on there being slop by simply not watching it. However I can't deal with search being broken, preventing me from accessing that sweet sweet 10%.

censorship so it's impossible to find the original record of anything. during the height of this stuff they would literally hide the original source video for certain things and only show you mainstream media manipulations. it was impossible to find the full unedited clip of Trump's "very fine people" statement, you could only find the edited videos, they were deliberatly suppressing any video that showed the full clip. and for hitting engagement metrics, if they showed you what you want to see you'll go to other platforms, the point is to lock you onto their platform as much as possible so they just show you things vaguely related to those search topics in hopes you'll just watch a bunch of videos.
it doesn't even matter if your company is profitable anymore, engagement and attention is all that matters, particularly if you're Google and you're part of the government and the government relies on your tech to maintain particular narratives about vaccines, elections, Palestine, whatever

/g/ lost its fucking mind over the little pink gradient. Now look what you've done. You could have been happy it was only a stupid gradient. It wasn't even that bad.
My uBlock (adblock) rules for the new youtube layout. IIRC it blocks "upcoming" (IDGAF) videos in subscriptions, the social media interactions on full screen, and I forget what the last one is, recommendations maybe. uBlock's picker sometimes does not let you select stuff that disappears, and this is not the extent of its deficiencies.
www.youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer.ytd-rich-grid-renderer:has(.ytFlexibleActionsViewModelActionRow)
www.youtube.com##.ytd-watch-flexy.style-scope > .ytd-expandable-metadata-renderer.style-scope
www.youtube.com##.ytp-fullscreen-grid
The silver lining to the redesign is that they aren't using meaningless garbage CSS class names.

searching for things that _should_ return literally nothing is proof they are poisoning the system, not even like it needs to be proven.
google incorrectly assumes you want to change your search term to some nonsense jewish term instead and also brings up irrelevant results

These two scripts here in combination with these uBlock rules fix some of my annoyances:
uBlock -> My Filters -> Apply
! Changing the amount of videos per row
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 5 !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 5 !important;)
! Using full page width for video grids
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 100% !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 100% !important;)
! Removing the gap in the 2nd row
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-gutter-margin: 0px !important;)
Obviously the Theater mode is still completely broken and I haven't found a way to fix that yet other than having to dive in myself and fix it on my own, the userstyle I was using for cinematic mode no longer works correctly. I'll reply to this post if I manage to fix it.
Suffice to say that I absolutely LOATHE INDIANS and want to genocide them all.

Unironically just rather pay those engineers to do nothing at all than just make new shit that just fuck it up even futher

I got 1k subs from a random video that shouldn't have done so well, as I have a dozen others in the exact same format. Ever since then it's been crickets. I feel like I'm stuck with 1000 YouTube bots and a handful of actual humans who watch and my videos don't get recommended outside my subscriber base. "You have your bots, now keep making content until the algorithm glitches or something". It's super weird. Nothing like pre-2017 YouTube.

It will never take off as long as Sepia Search isn't the default search engine on all instances. And even then it's a bit shit.

DNS filtering doesn't work for YT ads so you have to use Safari instead. There are several adblockers that do the job just fine.
Or use DNS filtering with Video Lite.

I'm assuming this is some more kikeshit to force more people onto the full website instead of trying to avoid all the extraneous garbage there by watching videos directly.
For now I've grabbed youtubelocal but I bet this too will break before the end of the year. Like how many users even deliberately watch via /embed/ to go through the hassle of breaking it? If they're going to break that they're going to go ham on every alternative method of interacting with it.
