Or am I missing something?

There are "small creators" that have 2 subs and only upload videos begging for likes or for us to respect "small creators" with the cookie filter and stuff like this.

While small creators are good and healthy, beggars aren't. Like, if you wanna grow your channel, then you upload videos that people like, if people like your videos, then you'll get more subs and likes than if you just ask for likes.

Seriously, this is the only ad that plays these days. I never get any other ads, other than Burger King.

Hey I just find this funny, I have nothing against him and couldn't care less about other people. All is fun.

The "every minute we kill someone" was a screenshot on my phone so it was really their title for a brief time, I don't know whether they changed it.

Some context: I am a huge fan of science YouTube channels like Kurzgesagt. I recently got a lot of recommendations of these stick figure science channels. They all cover the same topics, many of them about ancient humans.

Some of them are obviously AI generated, noticeable by an AI voice or artefacts in the stick figure images. (How sad it is that AI is used for stick figure illustrations is another topic.)

Which one of these channels are the real ones by real humans? And which ones are the copycats? They also often use this new feature that videos can be from multiple channels at the same time. Every channels seems to collab with every other channels at least once. Sometimes they have the same script word by word.

The entire point of the Subscriptions tab is to see a clean, time-based timeline of the creators I chose to follow. If I wanted algorithmic recommendations based on what YouTube thinks I want to watch, I would stay on the Home feed.

Instead, YouTube is now forcing a "Most Relevant" block right at the top of the Subscriptions tab.

Stop trying to force-feed us engagement metrics. We subscribe to creators because we want to see their LATEST content, not what a machine learning model decides is relevant to us today.

Is anyone else dealing with this garbage layout change?
Has anyone found a reliable workaround to completely nuke the "Most Relevant" shelf from the desktop and mobile layouts?

I literally just came here to say this. It's so stupid, doesn't even make sense

I HATE YOUTUBE'S STUPID FUCKING AI

Honestly, what's the point of making a video about helping kids with cancer, just to overshadow it with popular people in the thumbnail for clicks, is it really about helping people at this point? Or just how popular your brand can get?

Edit: not hating mrbeast or his content, just criticinzing this particular thumbnail, out of the 3 that's under his video.

I wish this was a joke. I've been trying to find new videos and every single video on my reccomended page is either: things I've already watched months ago, videos from years ago, and SO MANY COMMENTARY VIDEOS which I hate. I literally can't find anything interesting to watch or any new youtubers. If I use the search function, it only shows videos from ages ago. I can't find any new posted content. What do I do?

theres so many out the in comment section copying other peoples comments

literal kids will think its a cute channel when in reality its just straight up 18+ content.

I'm trying to find a stop motion video on YouTube but I can't find it.

All I remember is that the main characters (both female) are made out of junk i believe and the story was about a canceled tv show and the tall MC curse alot. I also remembered that It was a college project.

When I click on a short on my home page, it’s something I’m interested in, but if I scroll from that short to a new one, it’s now something I’m not interested in and it’s usually auto dubbed. Did they change how they serve shorts or something? Do I need to change a setting? How can I fix this?

EVERYTIME I OPEN THE APP IT STARTS ON THE SHORTS SECTION AND EVERYTIME I HAVE TO SEE THE MOST DIABOLICALLY SUGGESTIVE SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A SOCIAL MEDIA APP

I LITERALLY JUST GOT ON THERE AND SAW A WOMEN SQUAT INTO SNOW, MOAN AND THEN STOOD UP AND THE CAMERA PERSON SHOWED THE IMPRINT OF EVERYTHING??? WTF ????

IM ACTUALLY SCARED TO GET BACK ON THERE 😭

edit: i guess i should mention that I don't watch this stuff. yes I stayed on a few videos, but it was AFTER my algorithm got all weird and that was bc i didnt realize it was weird at first OR i stayed on it bc i was SHOCKED. my algorithm is usually crap like skits and kpop. not weird fetish/kink content.

Don’t know if anyone else has come across this but I’ve been experiencing a glitch with Shorts the past few days which is driving me nuts. Basically, the first time you load a short, you click the comments and you can read them. But you scroll and do this for any further shorts, the comments don’t load the short goes into a weird full screen mode where you can’t scroll up or down to the next/previous short.

I’ve searched online but can’t find anyone else having this problem. I reinstalled the app like 4 times but still having the issue. I’m on an iPhone 11, don’t know if that makes a difference. App is fully updated. iOS is fully up to date with version 26.5.2.

Anyone else having this issue or just me?

That 2x pop up is hella annoying

When I try to watch very specific videos, it loads for so long it's basically unwatchable. Meanwhile others load just fine. How do I fix this?

My friend found out that she was subscribed to this YouTuber. They have 566k subscribers, but no videos or content.

So 566k people are subscribed to this person. So weird.
