They gave me 3 months of premium for free. It’s just the same bad algorithm and suggestions and nothing works not even do not recommend just without ads.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuüde!

I don't know what happened but several months ago I noticed the algorithm got really really bad. As in I can't even find videos I used to watch by typing in the exact title and it just recommends me tons of extremely irrelevant shit. It's gotten to the point that it's infuriating to me to use.

I search for something. Get 3 relevant videos, a dozen of already watched videos, one being the very last video I saw; and now a dozen of random "my suggestions" which should have stayed in their tab.

This is GOOGLE. THE SEARCH ENGINE. Fucking fix this shit. ITS YOUR ONE JOB.

Oh yeah and My suggestions? You can reload that bitch a dozen times it will never pull anything new just the same 20 videos even if you watched em.

Enshitification. Am I gonna have to use BING to search YouTube?!

oh it's working exactly as intended. they're just trying more and more overtly to push you to the content they're paid to. cause you're right, it's Google, the ad company. this is what they do.

I've done exactly this method of searching YouTube through Bing as well :'(

It used to be fine it's only like the last 6 months or something I've noticed it be so damn bad so it's definitely on purpose. My search results filled with ads too

I just want something like Nebula to become really popular. Although something that keeps creeping into my head is aren't the data centers a monopoly or oligopoly? What happens if one of those companies become really popular and GCP/Azure/AWS all say nah, we aren't going to work with you. What then? Are there even smaller services that could handle even half the scale of something like youtube?
