how YouTube graduated from cat video to full-blown entertainment juggernaut. Wild ads, at least we’re still getting insane content for nothin’. 2024’s a strange year.
vanced YouTube in 2024: 10 ads before the video, AI-generated content everywhere, and somehow I’m still here watching a guy build a mud house in the jungle at 2 AM.
Search on YouTube is truly terrible now. 8/10 results are sponsored ads, other things you may like, watch it again, etc. Like wtf I literally searched something else.
I fucking hate how they mix in “popular” videos with your search results.
Like, the first few results are related, then there’s a few that are completely unrelated but “popular”. Then they go back to showing related results.
They don’t even try to differentiate between the two. It’s scummy as hell and yet another nail in the coffin for youtube.
Yeah, it’s really frustrating. You type in what you want, and YouTube just shows you random “popular” videos down your throat like you requested those. It’s all about keeping you on the site, not necessarily about assisting you in finding what you were searching for.
