Just... why??
At least (in this case) it's making reasonable suggestions. Watch Tom Scott -> Here's another Tom Scott video you haven't seen. Even so, the GUI in the app has just become a complete mess. I don't use it too often, but it feels like they redesign it in between every time I do.
...now? Bud, they've done this for ages, both on mobile and desktop how the hell have you not noticed it? It used to be even more obvious on desktop because they'd put it up as the first item in the 'related videos', but they got rid of that so now you don't know what it's going to start autoplaying until it happens, which is mildly annoying when you're listening to music and can't see what's up next
It’s fine. What I cannot stand is showing suggested content in the damn search results.
Yes search results, you search “how to install a water heater” and would get a video about how to inspect a house with small line says “people also watched this”
Fuck YouTube CEO.
I moved into a new place and I’ve heard it’s a good idea to flush out you water heater at least once a year. So I looked up how to do that on YouTube. Found a good video after maybe 1 or 2 that weren’t great, but I got it done.
Then YouTube is like “OH THIS GUY LOVES WATER HEATERS??? HERES SOME MORE VIDEOS ABOUT THAT!!!”
I miss pre-google YouTube
Its more ridiculous when you search a thing.
n. Loop from first result
I hate it when YT slowly boxes you into a corner with like the same couple of channels and a bit of nonsense for good measure. And then it starts recommending videos you've already watched for so reason. I mean how many millions of hours are uploaded everyday? Is there nothing else you can show me?
Use third party cleints
The video is over though, so what does it matter? Have you checked out ReVanced?
Yeah, do they think we want the app redesigned? Do they have nothing better to do?
Looks pretty good to me
Also they added background color on mobile's fullscreen and it's so distracting. I wish they put an option to keep it black again.
I thought you were talking about the new "I'm feeling lucky" thing they've been putting in my feed.
