Comment on There is no such thing as truly objective YouTube search results

Didn’t think it could get worse, and yet here we are. Not sure if it were an experiment, but for a while now my search results were always exactly 5 relevant videos, a block of shorts, and then just completely unrelated stuff.
I don’t really understand why we can’t have it, like it was before. If you’re subbed to a channel, you get the videos in your feed as they come in, and search just works as intended.
They are engineering solutions for problems that don’t need to exist

The “problem” they are trying to solve is “how do we keep people on the platform clicking and watching more videos for longer?” and the “solution” to that doesn’t necessarily involve showing you what you actually wanted to find.
