    it recommends things that you’d watch, here’s some videos from my recommendations:

    are you only looking for videos via the trending tab?

    though most of the other points are valid, I just wanted to point this one out because it seems obviously wrong, I remember that I used to never see low-view videos when I first used youtube

    some of the points I agree with, I am not a youtube shill
    • shorts should never have been added, it is obvious that youtube was just chasing trends again when it was added
    • no dislikes: youtube removes a good feature for no (good) reason (their ego); they did the same for:
      • community captions, making disabled viewers stuck with the shitty auto-generated captions while youtube partnered with captioning companies so that they could sell youtubers captioning services
      • new annotations, followed by removing the old ones after telling people that they would not be deleted
