And the single video that isn’t a “Sponsored” ad is still from Red Bull, and basically an ad.
Fuck the YouTube PMs
They were condescending on the bug with the fourth highest internal ratings that simply requested that shorts could be removed (particularly for children and for mental health). A particular gripe of some engineers was that it couldn’t be removed from the subscriptions page. I was impressed they removed the condescending comment after a month but they never really addressed the large volume of employees telling them this was the wrong thing to be doing
If it keeps going past that date, will there be -1 videos on screen?
You have to drag and drop a video onto the page in order to use the site
You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you’ll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!
Because the reason for the ID isn’t to “protect the children” or anything like that. It’s about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.
My opinion is that YouTube became an unusable mess, and I avoid it as much as possible. I guess that’s enshittification at work.
Ah that explains why my subscription page has all the videos I haven’t watched at the top and all the videos regardless of watched status right below so the same video is listed twice on the same screen on a slow day.
Now if they could just make sure when I open the app/channel that I land on the subscription screen instead of recommended that would be a real QOL improvement.
