I have an extension that can individually disable all the most useless/addicting components of the Youtube site, such as shorts and whatnot. On the search page, I have turned on:
hide Shorts
hide For You
hide Trending
hide 'People Also Searched For'
hide Search Categories
hide Promoted Videos
hide Promoted Websites
hide Suggested Products
Do you know what Youtube has started doing? They are now inserting engagement slop DIRECTLY into the search results, as seen in the image above. It's literally a short, yet it's inserted like a video so you're forced to see it. The only possible way to remove it is by using a privacy frontend, as even on incognito mode, Youtube will look at the three videos you've watched and start inserting shit based off that.
Louis Rossman is right, they all have rapist mentalities... "just let me stick it in"
"Literally UNUSABLE!"
Meanwhile 99% of the planet uses it just fine.
No, they all hate it too.
1.3T visits in 2023. 100M are paying for premium. They are doing just fine.
Oh, sorry, I thought we were talking about how much people who use YouTube hate YouTube's shitty design, based on the fact that this whole thread is about YouTube users hating the enshittification of YouTube.
But you're not here to engage with anyone, are you. You're here to shill for a corporation 🤡
99% of the planet are sheep who just click the first thing that shows up, if not enables autoplay while it feeds them incel nazi conspiracy shit.
Or even worse, feeds them modern clickbait news.
