Is that a download button I see? If so that means the UI has been edited by a third party tool, and this can’t really be blamed on Google…

It’s not. You only see it if logged in and if you press it, it tells you to subscribe to Youtube Premium to get the feature.

Oh? Interesting. I asked because I don’t see it on my iOS YouTube install, but I suppose it may be A/B testing.

Not true at all

Certainly a slop quality update

The app gets messed up on my Japanese LG TV every now and again (and I seem to have lost the ability to thumbs-up videos again), but it’s never been unusable. The app on my android phone looks fine at the moment.

Apple is at least as at fault here. The new ui system they introduced about a year ago is a shitshow

Nah, the android app has similar problems.

I have been using YouTube Redux and the element remover tool of Ublock Origin…
Makes Youtube much more pleasant (plus makes it look like it used to before the stupid UI updates)
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Is there also a trick to make it less slow to load, like old.youtube or youtube.classic or something? I mean, they have no performance goals or what?

rehike or invidious is a thing, has been quite a while since i tried it so no idea if they still work reliably tho

There are user agent switcher extensions for FireFox et. al. that can sidestep the garbage, anticompetitive throttling Google does against FireFox.
It’s also nice for those certain stupid websites that think they cannot work in FireFox…
MycelialMass@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If youre using an adblocker they intentionallly throttle service

Youtube redux just changes the CSS
Idk, try different browsers, VPNs, VPN configurations? I don’t usually have trouble with loading stuff… it takes a few seconds which is to be expected

Isn’t it unbelievable how multi-billion-dollar corporations push out updates that should never have been released, despite the warnings from their undoubtedly highly competent developers?
That alone says everything you need to know about the times we live in…
It seems we’ve reached the end of the road for hyper-capitalism.
voidsignal@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I mean why should they care? They continuously fuck people over, and they keep coming back. I would do the same at that point. #leave
DandomRude@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes, that’s true, because of the network effect. But you can still rest on your laurels as long as there’s no serious competition. Another motivation for PeerTube & Co.
Regarding federated applications: I think they not only need content, but also have to become significantly more user-friendly to ever have a chance in the mainstream. It’s simply a reality that the average user doesn’t know the first thing about the applications they use—and, above all, that they never want to know. The essential and only “selling point” is and remains convenience—and even setting aside the lack of content, federated applications unfortunately can’t keep up. Not for technical reasons, but because the average internet user is such a complacent wimp.

I think its done by design to drive people away from using a browser where people have more control and the website has less control (of course depending on the skill and patience of the user)
Having a shitty service on browser and on certain devices just drives people to view Youtube more and more on self contained smart services like Smart TVs or dedicated viewing devices.
I use Linux, firefox and have ad blocking extensions … and sometimes Youtube just becomes unusable

Have you tried FreeTube?
It’s the only way I watch YouTube on PC these days and it works pretty well most of the time. Also nice since the YouTube website almost never works for me.

The amount of bugs in the Youtube app has been crazy lately. They’re clearly relying heavily on vibecoding.
Mesa@programming.dev 1 week ago
YouTube’s playlist shuffle feature has been broken for at least 11 years. I know this because I remember complaining about it in middle school.
Maybe this is what sowed the first seed in my path to becoming a developer.
cinoreus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Dude, so many times I have encountered bad software lately, and I always thought, some Idiot must have used LLM for this. And I don’t even know why. Everything that already was working good started breaking down for some reason. Why are devs wrecking their code base just to fix minor bugs?

The execs and shareholders demand it in order to justify the massive investment they’ve made in their shitty chatbots.

It’s like a comedy routine.
- “Question and no guessing or mistakes gemini”
- “Confident answer that’s totally made up”
- “Were you guessing or hallucinating in the last statement?”
- “I apologize, you’re 100% correct that I was guessing”
- “How do I get you to stop guessing”
- "Use this code…"
- Repeat endlessly
I do think it comes up with some buried, interesting sources, but that’s about it. It’s like a 5 year old.
