I tire of this.
I tire of all the corpo nonsense.
Take me back to 2011 YT. I'd rather just have dumb kids acting cringe than all of these genuinely heartless douche-tubers and content farms festering every nook and cranny.
And as usual, thank god for Invidious and Piped. I was getting worried I might actually lose them over the past two months, but things have gotten (if only a teeny tiny bit) better.
Google needs to die. This is non-negotiable.

Sorry but Youtube was enshittifying even back in 2011. Just ask anyone around that time.

Mark my words, within five years there will be no more search either
in ten, no more non corporate uploads

I would say that this is the dumbest decision youtube could ever make, but lets just fucking face it, the morons running youtube are gold medal olympic athletes at fucking shit up

These decisions Youtube makes seem tailor-made to cater to content farms for some reason. Content farms that, among other things, love to push out Misinformation.
I don’t know how to put this, but, I’m thinking there needs to be some sort of official investigation into this matter or something.

Perhaps all this happening is just Youtube’s management being stupid, but my brain just refuses to believe that it’s possible to be this stupid without some sort of plan.

They already removed dates from playlists, for some fucking reason.

That might be true, but 2013 and onwards was when things really started to drop off a cliff (admittedly I wasn't old enough to notice it until 2015).

Everything seems pointed towards blinding the consumer into not knowing what they are going to take it. I swear, food companies would remove ingredients and allergen warnings if given an inch to do so.

I know things look bad o youtube but….

They are gonna keep getting much worse

This is related to Youtube, but I've just noticed that they've changed the formatting of Youtube posts (you know, where you could post images, polls, quizzes, or say whatever you want).

Instead of having neat rectangles that gives you a preview of what someone's saying, all the posts are now just in these little squares, where if the channel has text and an image, the text is just shoved awkwardly to the left. Youtube Posts was admittedly a neat addition, so of course they had to find a way to Enshittify that

Might as well just call it Tube at this point.
