Someone At YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled

  I still end up using the Youtube app on my phone sometimes and I’m absolutely floored at the audacity of even making the first video an ad. Total, absolute, utter bullshit.

    I have a Google phone, which has YouTube embedded on it. I can’t remove it. I had to disable it, then tell my phone to redirect all YouTube links to my browser. Now I can block ads again!

      You can remove it, with adb. Rather simple when it’s set up.

  And the single video that isn’t a “Sponsored” ad is still from Red Bull, and basically an ad.

  Fuck the YouTube PMs

  They were condescending on the bug with the fourth highest internal ratings that simply requested that shorts could be removed (particularly for children and for mental health). A particular gripe of some engineers was that it couldn’t be removed from the subscriptions page. I was impressed they removed the condescending comment after a month but they never really addressed the large volume of employees telling them this was the wrong thing to be doing

  If it keeps going past that date, will there be -1 videos on screen?

    You have to drag and drop a video onto the page in order to use the site

      You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you’ll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!

      Because the reason for the ID isn’t to “protect the children” or anything like that. It’s about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.

  My opinion is that YouTube became an unusable mess, and I avoid it as much as possible. I guess that’s enshittification at work.

    Jesse adding “removed” to that sentence in that scene is an example of the Mandela effect. Lots of people remember it that way, but he actually says “Yeah science! Yeah Mr. White!”

      I have never actually seen it, so I don’t know what he says. I just know the meme

  I went into Netflix recently to find the same thing. Hardly anything visible on screen, just a handful of massive buttons.

  You can see maybe two movies to the right of the main one, and the top half of the row below.

  I assume this is just to hide the fact that there’s precious little worth watching on it.

  Ah that explains why my subscription page has all the videos I haven’t watched at the top and all the videos regardless of watched status right below so the same video is listed twice on the same screen on a slow day.

  Now if they could just make sure when I open the app/channel that I land on the subscription screen instead of recommended that would be a real QOL improvement.

  Scrolling to the right is also slow as hell with this.

  I stopped using the main page and started using the subscriptions page, which still has the smaller icons. I’m using YouTube a lot less, though.
