Thread 213949297

Is there an alternative way to search yputube now that they deliberately broke their search so that you can't find anything that isn't promoted?

Alternatives to yourube?

>>213949297 (OP)
I get shit that isn't "promoted" constantly. Do you guys not curate your own stuff?

I wish blocktube still worked

>>213949328
I think they never figured out that they need to delete stuff from their history to fix their recommended section, or they're just watching slop in the first place

>>213949373
The search doesn't work dude.

>>213949297 (OP)
This.

Rumble is a thing. Idk if what you're looking for is on there though.

And here's a thing. What am I looking for? How do I know what I want to watch if I don't know what there is?

>>213949373
>watching slop
Implying that you know of some nonslop for us to watch?

>>213949434
It works fine if you search for old music videos

>>213949297 (OP)
yandex search + youtube used to work but alas even that is gone.

>>213949479
It's like totally random, I can't explain it. It used to work so well in the past, then it kept getting worse.

>>213949479
lol

>>213949472
He's just a contrarian.

>>213949514
Same with Yandex images, it used to still be good like old Google images before they killed it, but whoever acquired Yandex killed that too. Probably some glow shadowcorp.
The Internet sucks so much now.

>alternatives to YouTube
There are none cause google operates it a huge loss, no one else does this except Amazon with twitch I guess

>>213949603
This. Remember when the youtube comment bell was super active? Now I get 1 reply every 2 weeks. Some sort of isolation is happening here.

>>213949472
Very niche interests of mine. Obviously the more mainstream a topic is the worse the content will be. I never watch anything from large channels not out of spite but because anything they have to say is very surface level.

just type your search term on google + site:youtube.com . its the only way

>>213949603
What we're experiencing is How the Grinch Stole Cheistmas on a global scale.

ive always had success with search filters, limited stuff to same day or same week. obviously there's a limit to the utility of that but you can find the backlog of an interesting channel that way

>>213949565
>t. shill

>search
>top 3 results are kind of what you want
>then it's just 'fuck it, here's some mr beast and shit you've seen before'
To think Google got big because they were a good search engine

>>213949297 (OP)
What did they do now?

>>213949674
THIS
although yandex or the duck is better for that
also use mpv or ytdlp to watch the video instead of going on jewtube

>>213949726
How do you use filters? I only know about the before/after certain year one. How do you search like for under a specific amount of views or something?

Sorting by most recent used to work for new content, but now it's all shorts and AI.

how in the fuck do search engines get only worse and worse? makes no sense but they really just get shittier every year

>>213950095
Advertisers

Kinda on the same topic but just today I had a mini melt down searching for a song on google. I was like the lyrics are " blah blah blah blah I'm not gonna leave with you," and google was like
"OH OKAY HERES A SONG 'IM NEVER GOING TO LEAVE YOUR SIDE!'

Like holy fucking shit looking up the 100% correct lyrics and google will just completely shit the bed and go the opposite direction. Eventually I just remembered it myself, the fucking search is COMPLETELY useless

I fuck hate youtube
They deleted my music playlist cause hate speech (one of the vid was deleted for that sp they deleted my fucking 400 musics playlist)
Even if I never upload a video

>>213949859
Top right corner after you type in a search term. 3 dots.

>>213950114
We haven't even talked about the new advertising that dropped a few days ago. Now when you click skip, you have to hit the three dots to close the fucking thing you just skipped. They hate us

>>213950232
This, I fucking hate how when they purge a video they completely get rid of the title and everything. There's so many songs that I lost forever because all that remains is a blank spot that says [deleted video]

>>213950095
They don't make money giving you what you want they make money making you click as many times as possible.

>>213950211
The search was like perfect before 2017 or whatever.

>>213950294
It's probably erasing history or book burning at this point.

>>213950232
>>213950294
I literally just started writing down the artist/song title in a notebook when I add something to a music playlist because of that. Fuck them

>>213950211
It's best to use search engines to find potential songs by their lyrics and then find them on yt

>>213950327
Haha don't be silly.

>alternatives to YouTube
Their servers always get raided by the feds and glowies.

>>213950351
That's what I said idiot, this was google

>>213950461
>Duh google don't work no more
>Duhhhh google don't work no more
>Duhhhhhhh google don't work no more
Try another search engine IDIOT

>>213950502
>>213949603

>>213950294
99% chance its still in their database they just dgaf

>>213950515
I always find what I'm looking for. Try harder

>>213950502
Every engine usee the same algo as google except yandex which is worse and more russian

>>213949297 (OP)
Unfortunately there are no alternatives to YouTube

>>213950611
Okay find some metal molds for making silverware. I'll see you in 2 minutes when all you get are rubber/silicon molds for making chocolate

My labor isn't free

Is there an adblocker for any browser that works at this point?

>>213950502
Know-it-all genius has entered the thread.

>>213950791
I guess it's how sites are being coded now but using adblock to remove small elements will make a lot of places unusable now, hey'll either reappear instantly or it removes so much other stuff with it it's not worth it. Ublock isn't the magic bullet it used to be

>>213950211
Try doing a DIY project and avoiding a million tons of AI slop sites, the internet is really unpleasant to use and less useful than it was 25 years ago

>>213950515

>>213950791
ublock origin on firefox and probably Brave.
But adblocks are always a cat and mouse game, especially with youtube/twitch.

>>213950791
I use ublock origin with firefox and I have the sponsor block for yt
I never see ads anywhere

>>213951057
>>213951077
Does uBlock work on JewTube?

>be watching a treatise on medieval armor smithing
>halfway through HEY GUYZ CHECK OUT THIS WONDERFUL DEAL FROM GEICO

It's fucking maddening.

>>213951133
I don't get ads (I have from time to time), you do get a brief pause at the start though.
desu I use youtube-dl for youtube. Specifically, this UI
https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui.

I'm completely shadowbanned and all of my past youtube comments were wiped just because I posted one too many truthnukes in Superman 2025 box office videos

>>213951212
Thank you kindly anon.

I got that warning to disable adblock else I won't be able to use the site. Twice. I got blocked and just didn't even visit the website for weeks. After some time I tried and it was gone. They haven't tried a third time.
(Although all I had to do was use it in incognito mode, adblock still worked but I didn't get blocked. Still I just simply stopped using yt for a few weeks both time.)

>>213949297 (OP)
YT effectively has a monopoly because their 20 year content library makes it impossible for anyone to compete, they can do whatever they want and we just have to take it
Unironically write or call your lawmakers about this

>can't find a song by using the lyrics
It's not my fault, you should be mad at yourself

>>213951235
I don't even try to post youtube comments anymore

>>213951289
yeah youd never want to be a competitor really against youtube as well because, theyve trained people to upload hours and hours and hours of utter garbage. you are going to have to pay so much money, just because people are retarded and have been trained to not care about space, or bandwidth because youtube is so "generous" (stealing all your data in the process)
