It can't even play my music playlist with 1000+ videos in it, and they expect me to pay for background play on mobile?
And it's not just a Youtube problem, even Spotify and Apple Music keeps playing the same 20 fucking songs lately I went back to hosting my own stuff

It was never good. It was always filled with propaganda and clickbait.

>all those other subscription services are bad as well!
Just don't use them.

Imagine being angry at your goyslop being goyslop

Did you not read my post? I stopped using them
I'm part of a Spotify family membership so I'm not paying for it but I don't really use it anymore
I'm just baffled at this playlist issue that seems to be prevalent on most streaming platforms

Idk, it seemed pretty decent back in the 2015-2018 days. Even as recently as 2-3 years ago it was better. It just seems to progressively get worse and worse. Recommending me stuff I have no interest in.

"algorithm" recommendations were always used as a tool of propaganda.

When i go to youtube and let it play recommendations, and start incognito with the most unrelated thing possible, like some cat videos, i will get "China is collapsing", "10 reasons why you should join the army" propaganda within 3 videos.
A few years ago that would have been covid vax propaganda instead or BLM and before that it would have been LGTBQ+ slop and before that feminism.

It is very obvious that any American platform that itself decides what to show you has to show you bullshit and propaganda.

oh yes, the "extremely dangerous to our democracy!" hivemind times. I surely enjoyed youtube randomly starting to play John Oliver.

I actually think Youtube is the best "social media" these days. The algo actually does a decent job finding interesting videos for me, and because of the format people actually go long form and put effort into their vids.

I actually learn things from youtube, whereas the time/knowledge ratio is far lower on twitter and basically nonexistant in other places. Actually even reddit is better than twitter now, but whatever.

Ironically the biggest problem with youtube is searching for very specific stuff, it seems to bug out. Oh, and revanced alone makes android > iphone, for however long they can keep it up.

it gets worse

Good recommendations were axed sometime during Trump's first term as an attempt to mitigate shitskin socialist ownage by MAGA truthers. The excuse was Elsagate.

What do you mean it can't play?
>>
>>106490063
It cycles through the same 20/1000 videos on the playlist, shuffling it just gives you 20 different videos but it'll play the same 20

>premiumbros
why do you like watching your gf get fucked?
uncreative insults aside i recently deleted my yt acc while degoogling and i don't even miss it. it was my last social media too and i really thought i'd keep it but now i just use it when i actually want to know something instead of letting the algo spoonfeed me slop. still wish there were other places with like all the non-geolocked old music

Not even remotely true, the recommendations algorithm was at its best just a few years ago, but then YouTube obliterated it again and now it only shows slop. Also kys /pol/tard, not everything in life is about your heckin based redpillerino and you're a low iq subhuman ape creature if you think otherwise.
>>
>>106490072
Yeah i hate their shuffling system. You'll start at the beginning of a playlist and it'll slowly move you down to the last 25-40% of videos or so and keep you there.
>>
I hate how sensitive it is to new genre videos. If I watch one animal or soccer video more than half of my recommendations become that. But what pisses me off is non-relevant videos when searching.
>>
Both Google's and Youtube's CEOs are Indians. That's the problem.

private equity has been buying up popular creators who have been getting burned out. The content must continue but the og person running it has checked out mentally or actually leaves. This leaves middlemen squeezing large channels favored by the algo for money and hired-on's running things. Safer vids, less risks. It's turning into just a bad version of cable TV.

you need to stop watching popular videos or you will become the millennial version of a BOOMER drooling on a couch with the remote in your hand as vapid bullshit is pushed on you. You turned into your Dad, sorry.

There is still good stuff on youtube as it is a fairly open platform where anyone can upload, but you need to stop just refreshing the front page. Use your subscription tab, go to channels you like and browse their catalog, and generally seek out content you want. The algo is cancer, it's addiction, it's sugar, it's a slot machine. It's fine to have some candy, but don't ONLY eat candy.
