I was trying to search for something inside a specific channel the other day. The results were so random that I wasn’t confident I was even seeing all of the videos that had the word I typed in. Doesn’t help that it’s full on chaos sort with no option of any other sorting method. Complete trash.
YouTube "search results"

It’s not like they’re part of a company whose core product is search.

Their core product is advertising.

Searching/surfing YouTube is like searching/surfing Imgur. It’s a site for content hosting so you can link from other places. You have to go to online communities to find links to good videos.
There are good channels that are worth subscribing to, but going to YouTube directly is like trudging though a swamp.

Censorship does retarded shit to things.

It’s not censorship. It’s just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.
