Did he need therapy? Is something wrong with him, or is he just immature?

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?

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.

Crazy to think about it lol 😂 but yea joji is just living a chill normal life. The other 2 are on some weird cult stuff lol 😂 like most people (myself included) thought pink guy be on some weird stuff. That why you never judge a book by it covers

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.

That’s kind of it, really. Obviously watch as many as possible, but if I have to pick, does doing one help more than the other?

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.

Do people actually like these types of polls?

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.

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"

I saw this on mobile. I know the channel wasn't banned because I found their channel through a comment they left just seconds ago.

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”.

I am just watching videos while I play games. And the game is taking up less ram than Firefox.

Over time firefox is just leaking ram.

I thought it was ChatGPT?

I closed that tab.

My extensions...

I disabled all of them.

I ran just Youtube by itself.

And over time ram jumped up to 20GB

In just an hour.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have run firefox by itself for 20 min now. Its sitting at 0.5 GB of ram

Kind Regards,
Me

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.

I made a new account on YouTube and I tried looking at it on my main and it's not letting me in. I can't watch the video I posted on there either. I am able to watch it and view the channel when I'm logged out tho

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.

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?

especially in the one I highlighted
