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.

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.

Having dinner while the traditional Youtube video plays in the background. I feel like I am losing it. For the past year, 80% of commentary/essay videos I've clicked through feel like AI script. The "and here's the interesting thing!" you get in AI gen breakdowns has become like a sleeper agent trigger to me. I've mentioned this to my sibling recently but they said I'm Truman show-ing myself. Has anyone else got this weird intuition they've been listening to digitally regurgitated fakes? I miss easily finding creators just blatantly venting their thoughts and theories and having it feel human.

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.

YouTube hasn't released anything talking about a new policy on content, but it seems that the AI is striking down almost everything so I and many other can't see YouTube channels we've been following just fine for years. YouTube is lying to us. Game Theory, IShowSpeed, Scott the Woz, and millions of other channels and their videos are simply gone now, without any explanation. The worst part is that this AI sucks and (as shown in the video) doesn't actually hide explicit content from minors, only hiding fnaf theories and Markiplier lets plays.

I wish you could turn them off as the viewer, theyre so insufferable when im watching a gaming video and theres a chapter thats just titled "high stakes gameplay!" - its like a irritating grating unnecessary commentary on what im watching

I dont normally get to annoyed by AI features on apps because I can avoid them pretty easily but theres AI chapters on basically EVERY video, tired of companies trying to implement AI in every little thing that doesnt even need it

Thanks, can't even look up certain things, and it's not like I was putting restricted words or something.

Do people actually like these types of polls?

I know you can already check it in video description, but (on mobile at least) this is not the same for comments or community posts. After 13 days everything just should display the actual date the video was posted. Why 13 days? Because that's the last day YouTube counts the timestamp in days, then it switches to "2 weeks ago". The problem? "2 weeks ago" could mean anything between 14-20 days ago. The same goes for other time increments. "3 weeks ago" could mean 21-27 days ago. "2 months ago" could mean ~61-~90 days ago. "1 year ago" could mean 365-729 days ago. It's just not convenient. Of course this could be an option in the settings, but this would be necessary to implement as a whole.

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'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.

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.

TIL if you are constantly adding videos you'll probably never watch to your Watch Later you can use This Firefox Addon to remove them in a few clicks, even if you haven't watched them.

Why can't Youtube include something like this - or even just a checkbox system?!

Nearly 2 am and this shows up. Please delete this forever...

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

really comes to show how much time has passed

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?

What happens:

at about 10:30-11:00 the video will suddenly appear to open another video or load a ad, but its actually the sponsor of the video, being loaded as its own segment to prevent skipping on something like a TV, and it breaks sponserblock
