The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

YouTube’s video games are almost impossible to find – but once you unearth them, you’ll wish you never looked (www.theguardian.com)

After a labyrinth of menus as intuitive as dadaist poetry, players are rewarded with knockoffs of decades-old games too maliciously bad to have been designed by AI

I am trying out YouTube Premium’s games, but I can’t find them. I assumed I would boot up the app and there would be a big red button saying GAMES … but no. I have to sign up to PREMIUM. Then find the YOUR PREMIUM BENEFITS section. Then find EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES and select TRY EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES. Then find the TRY GAMES ON YOUTUBE part therein and tap on TRY IT OUT. There is an EXPLORE tab and a SEARCH tab just to make things as intuitive as dadaist poetry. I go through more menus than an entire series of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. It was quicker to load up and play Lords of Midnight on the ZX Spectrum.

I can't imagine it worked for Netflix and I don't see why YouTube should be any different. It's like companies are testing just how awful and disappointing ðey can be before people actually start abandoning ðem.
