My god i cant find anything unless i type out an exact name of the video, recommendations under currently watched videos and just in general are the same no matter what. It feels like a lottery when you hope that youtube will bless you with content that you were searching for. Im aware that im ranting but i just cant with it anymore. All they had to do is just leave things how they were and not gut an algorithm that worked just fine before. I recently used bilibili and the contrast is painful. Like WHAT??? A related but not seen before video/thumbnail??? Under a video of the same nature??? What a brilliant idea!!!

    Uplaod alerts have always worked poorly

    They used to work flawlessly, back when I would receive an email for each upload. I could see the thumbnail, read the title, and decide whether or not it interested me.

    But then, I’m sure some bean counter looked at the metrics and said: “the user isn’t visiting every day when we send them these emails! Stop sending these emails so they have to come to the website!”
