What the hell is wrong with the people here? Actual positive news for a while and what does Lemmy have to say? Complaining and cynicism. No wonder you’re so miserable all the time.

For years, every update YouTube has had has made the platform worse. I think its valid to doubt this will improve anything. That being said, I agree with you. Lemmy as a whole needs to calm down a bit and stop being so damn negative about everything.

Hating corporate is a warranted approach

They are not people, they are hostile threat actors.

Why are you shocked they get treated as such?

I haven’t seen any of the usual self-righteous “I only use self-hosted video services” comments in here yet though.

I logged off and then started looking for titties…the tape project, dancers wearing next to nothing, African tribe dancing naked, body paint, see thru lingerie hauls, cleaning naked hauls, breast feeding tities…my YouTube is now embarrassing pornographical without me loving in.

YouTube is not for kids.

Shout out to DeArrow, from the same developer as SponsorBlock. It replaces video titles and thumbnails with community-provided non-clickbait versions. Available as a browser extension, and is also built-in to several third-party YouTube apps, such as SmartTube.

I feel a bit conflicted about that, do I want that extension to hide the terrible clickbaity titles and thumbnails? For me that’s a good reason to not watch these videos in the first place

I just saw a video posted here about how Tyler Oliveria is a liar and his content is bogus, but when youtube kept pushing that garbage at me the over the top AI thumbnails were enough to tip off it was going to be shit, and I had blocked him months ago lol

YouTube basically completely stopped recommending me those videos years ago because it learned I never click on them.
