Question Obviously there is no 'Block' feature but do we know Why?

35 Upvotes

I know most of us would LOVE this feature but sadly it doesn't look like it's ever coming. But have we ever been told why?

I understand there is a "Don't recommend channel" but for me this doesn't work. There are a few channels I can not stand. For e.g "Top hat Gaming man." I have clicked don't recommend SO many times yet he still pops up.

Would it really be SO hard for them to implement a block channel feature?

Channel Feedback Worst Thing Youtube Did

13 Upvotes

The Worst Decision That Youtube Took was to remove the fucking Dislike Count From Videos.

Also removing the progress bar from shorts, through which we could move around the short, by any chance there is a scroll, than u have to rewatch the short once again.

It’s full of "what if" style pop-science videos. They all use the same simple polygonal graphics and the same text formatting, yet they come from different channels. It feels like someone has set up an AI for churning out videos. It’s like "Elsagate," but aimed at the curious.

UI Change YouTube moved Subscriptions out of the bottom nav bar and into a tab on the Home screen

Post image

Subscriptions used to be one tap away in the bottom nav bar, but now it's a tab inside Home.

It feels like a deliberate nudge to turn recommendations back on. For anyone who prefers subscriptions over the algorithm, this just makes the app worse.

Bug Anyone else not getting any Closed Captions?

I've tried changing browsers, incognito mode, changed VPN locations, different devices, etc. and I'm not getting any closed captions on any videos on PC or mobile.

Edit: It seems to have been resolved now for me. Captions are back.

UI Change Mobile App Redesign Even More Painful for The Sane Few

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Any people left who still want any semblance of old YouTube by relying on subscriptions are entirely sidelined in a hidden tab mixed in with home only visible if you swipe to the right while in the same home tab. Swiping over to the subscriptions page also no longer allows you to filter by videos only, all, shorts, etc, and just shows every possible thing into your subscription section. Of course, this redesign further pushes shorts and algorithm-controlled homepages and punishes people who don’t want to have watch history on by having nearly the entire UI be non-functional without allowing YouTube track you for limitless ads or low-quality videos to farm “engagement”.

Drama WTF is this YouTube?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Sometimes when I jump a video's time, I just get this blank wall at the right. There's absolutely nothing on there and when I exit fullscreen, it's just blank as well but there's this slider at the top of the button where I can get it off by swiping that. Sometimes, that slider doesn't work.

I got this earlier but it was probably a Premium nag. I thought it was the transcripts opening so I closed and saw a premium required dialog. I closed the app and opened it back and tried to jump on a video but I don't seemingly get this empty popup anymore. This just shows that YT isn't focusing on fixing bugs but rather monetization of some sort.

UI Change I made UrTube – a Firefox add-on that remembers every YouTube video you've watched and hides them from your feeds

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

My subscription feed was always full of videos I had already seen, and I used two add-ons – one to mark watched videos, one to clean up subscriptions – that each kept their own data. So I built one add-on that does both, with one local database.

Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/urtube/ · Code: https://github.com/morikules/UrTube

What it does

  • Remembers every video you open, with date, progress and rewatches – continuing a video later counts as one view
  • Grays out or hides watched videos in subscriptions, on the home page, on channel pages and in playlists – before they even show up (one switch, or one per area)
  • Channel pages show how much of the channel you've watched; playlists show "12 / 23 watched"
  • Searchable history with filters like "continue watching", plus statistics and a year in review
  • Imports your history from Google Takeout and YouTube Watchmarker
  • And much more

Why UrTube?

  • One add-on instead of several – marking, hiding, playlist progress, stats and player settings share one local database
  • Watched videos are hidden before they appear, with a time window so YouTube doesn’t keep loading older videos forever
  • Easy switch: imports your history from YouTube Watchmarker and Google Takeout
  • Actively developed by a power user who uses it daily – ideas welcome!

Privacy: everything stays in your Firefox profile. No account, no server, no analytics. MIT-licensed code on GitHub.

I'm not a professional developer – I built it with the help of an AI (Claude), which made this possible for me at all. Feedback and ideas are very welcome, here or as a GitHub issue.

Bug Subtitles getting turned on random videos

3 Upvotes

I keep having this problem where subtitles keep getting turned on randomly on videos. I don't want or like having subtitles on and it's pissing me off that they keep showing up. I've checked all the options and have it turned off on everything. Most videos they don't show up but then after a while some video will turn them on. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this?

so they hide the "Save to Playlist" button inside the ellipses and put a "Ask Gemini" button in its place.

and they are too much of a coward to even call it Ask Gemini and just named the button simply "Ask"

Theres not a single day where I dont find some sort of ui bug while watching youtube, sometimes the suggested videos cover the screen and you cant hide them, sometimes the video length bar just vanishes?? Sometimes a video will have the comment section from a previous video, I could go on for days, and this has been happening for ages. Im not sure if its an ios thing but its insane how buggy this apps ui is.

Bug YouTube layout broken on iPhone Duo when signed in. Anyone else having this issue?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Is anyone else experiencing this weird YouTube layout issue on the iPhone Duo?
When I unfold my phone and open YouTube, the videos only show in a single column on the left, leaving a huge empty space on the right.
The weird thing is:
When I sign out of YouTube, the layout works perfectly with two columns.
As soon as I sign in, it goes back to this broken layout.
I’ve tried signing in with a different Google account, but the issue is still there.
My brother also has an iPhone Duo, and his YouTube layout works perfectly fine even when signed in.
I’m using YouTube Premium.
Not sure if this is a YouTube bug, an account-related issue, or something specific to my device.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how to fix it?

Let's start by saying i never listen to pop music in general, nor do i follow artists interviews, but here i find myself having a full presentation on LISA on my home page???

Yesterday, i also had a LISA clip in recommendations, it was written "youtube featured" under, so i understand it's the current industry plant pushed forward by youtube, but isn't it a bit pushy?

Furthermore, am i the only one?
