    Not to mention their “1080p” streams look worse than 2013 480p streams. The site is a dumpster fire.

    Good thing we have Youtube alternatives. The two biggest ones are Odysee & Rumble. Also we have Peertube. The problem with Peertube is people don’t use it. So it haves less content on it.

    If you’re going to watch Youtube, use a Frontend. For same reason Privacy Guides don’t have Grayjay on it.

        Its got a lot of those types for sure, but it has the most normal content of any alt video platform.

        Rumble isn’t any better. It’s where my dad gets his COVID conspiracy material after folks got kicked off other platforms.

    In the future you’ll pay $900/mo to stare at a blank page.

    And you’ll have to because all the free sites are entirely ads.

    Thanks Youtube, I hate it. Like I can see some arguments for taking away the view counter, even if I think it’s a bad decision. But the date the video was uploaded? Who does that even help? I guess Youtubers will either need to start properly dating their videos or we’ll just have to use context clues to figure out when a video was uploaded.

    You know why they might be hiding upload dates? My theory is, Youtube doesn’t really want you looking at new stuff. (Very apparent by the algorithm) they want you looking at specific news stories, and specific content but not constantly seeking new uploads from independents.

    But that is just a theory a plain theory. Thanks for watching.

      I hate how now when I watch a bunch of videos from a creator, my YouTube feed ends up only having that creators videos, like yeah I’m enjoying this person, but I do like to watch other things as well.

      It feels like I’m being forced into an echo chamber.

        I can’t even use my home screen due to my Google account settings. What i’l do is do a search by date and subscribe to any good channels I like to ensure I get a curated feed for me on Youtube.

        The one that gets me is watching a new creator to me on a subject I’m interest in e.g. gaming and it turns out that said creator so has a right wing nut job catalogue and that’s all that fella my feed for the next two weeks.

        My time is limited I just want to relax on my down time and ain’t interested in rage bait but that’s all yhe algorithm seems to want to show me every chance it gets by me clicking on a new name
