>just continues to get worse and worse
They have pretty much almost no competition. No incentive to improve.
>>106977958its seriously astounding how shit its gotten. there has been ZERO improvement since like 2016. it peaked then and ever since, every new "feature" is either more censorship or a shittier more bloated UI
i get now where i watch my subs and try to go back to the home page and it's empty. wtf? refresh refresh refresh refresh bam 100 new videos to watch. most of them crap that i just end up blocking or whatever, but why didn't they just show me those to begin with?pic related. fresh login with a clear browser history. totally empty home page. i rarely even get the ribbon at the top with the keywords and the New to You button any more. why would that button ever not be there? why wouldn't they always have the button that shows you things they know 100% for sure that you haven't watched yet?
>>106978523oh and also my subs list is no longer alphabetized. it seems like it's rearranged based on whose video i watched last. who the fuck thought that was a good idea? how does that person still have a job?
>>106977993This. Where is everyone going to go? Odysee? LMAO! Unless another site pays as much as YouTube and offers as big of an audience as YouTube, people will stay on YouTube regardless of how shit it gets.
>>106978559u need a big corpo to do it. similar to search engines. odysee would be like duckduckgo.the big companies dont seem to want to do it though, huge investment in storage.
>>106978581Something that huge should be decentralized but so far everything has been shit about it, especially usability.>just install this IPFS instance, bro
>>106978184>there has been ZERO improvement since like 20162012* Reducing channel art to a single fucking banner was the worst thing jewgle did.
>>106978184I can't think of a single improvement from google this entire time besides inevitable hardware advancement related ones like improved bandwidth and resolution.
>>106977993There are plenty of alternatives but you and every other lazy cunt won't use the. You'll turn your nose up and some imaginary weakness of the other platform. Ultimately you want to use Youtube and that's why you use it.
>>106979482the best thing Youtube has innovated that I"m aware of is caching live streams, enabling you to back up and start from an earlier point if you join late.
>>106979492you don't use anything else either faggot
>>106977958>pls gib credit card or id
>>106979492This is the truth of it. People bitch and moan for a little while as their freedom gets taken away. Pretty soon they get used to in and accept it. They are literally going through the stages of grief rather than jumping ship. They like their funko pop review videos that much. The root problem is that they are a peasant class who cant stop consooming. Therefore they will always be under the boot.
>>106977958Use case for improvement?
>>106977958>fixes everything in you're pathhttps://github.com/omnidevZero/YouTubeRedux
>>106977958>you just keep on using it
>>106978559Billibilli
>>106979504Don’t they want to start charging for that?
turning off the gayass algo is the best thing you can do unless your lazy then you will run out of shit to watch.
>>106977993Youtube is a natural monopoly. All content creators upload to Youtube because that's where all the viewers are, and all the viewers are on youtube because that's where all the content creators are. There may be other sites, but they will never dethrone Youtube, regardless of how bad it gets because of this.
>>106979492The fuck is the point of a video platform with no content on it? These aren't imaginary weaknesses, no one uploads to these alternative sites.
>>106979572I got hit by this a few minutes ago. Any way to get around it, or do I have to pay for a burner phone number just to make a new account?
>>106980182All it'll do is restrict you from watching Adult Content (sexy videos and rated R movies).If you don't care about anonymity, the credit card is easiest.You could try to be cheeky and take a selfie of some random dude's face, but that might be illegal? Dunno. The email option is basically giving a third party receipts to your inbox that'll look for whether or not you are paying bills or shit like that to verify you are an adult.
>>106977993This isn't the problem. People think Youtube is a service, but it isn't. Youtube is a library of content, and unless some other platform has Youtube's library then there can be no competition.>go to not!Youtube>"hello yes I am looking for [funny video]">"sorry, we don't have that, it was only uploaded to Youtube. Go back there, or something."And people upload to Youtube to begin with because that's where all the people are, and the people are there because that's where people upload. It's a vicious cycle and the only way to break it would be either a massive migration of content, or a massive deletion of content, or new rules that would make further uploading/viewing of content impossible.
>>106980247>sexy videos and rated R moviesIts a lot more than that. Youtube loves to arbitrarily age restrict videos for no reason. I found out I was ID required by attempting to watch one of those innocuous "why is this age restricted" videos.
