    this would essentially kill my method of viewing videos on the platform, this isn’t a boost to interaction they think it will be, it will ultimately result in me watching less videos as I won’t have the ability to decipher trash from good, so I’ll just stick with content creators that I am used to and no longer branch out like I currently do.

    I hope the return down vote people just start collecting view count and upvotes too. Then we can at least keep that.

    I’ve encountered so many AI generated videos that now I have to depend on view count since they removed dislike. And even view count doesn’t work as well because people click on just to see why there are high view counts, turns out it’s an AI video with high view count. Absolutely terrible practice. Youtube knows, they’re not stopping

      YouTube har made everyone using AI in their video declare it, but in not sure it matters when it comes to being pushed out.

      Source: I was playing around with autogenerating YouTube shorts, YouTube did not make it easy

        Alright now how do I filter out that A.I content. Chances are if you search up a tech question, there’s an A.I video made from scraping websites and bot TTS

    Hmm at a glance I dont see a major issue here, my concern would be that I dont click on vids with shit numbers so they are now on a more equal footing.

    But it is better for people not to be so focused on numbers like removing number of likes on Instagram.

      Wouldn’t the YouTube creator need to see views for ad revenue? Are they removing them for viewers or creators too?

      I don’t mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

      I don’t know what’s up with the algorithm pushing these lately. If it’s a video with 4 views from a channel with no subscribers I’m probably not interested in it. Sometimes they have a good thumbnail/title so I give them a chance but 9/10 times it’s terrible. Also often extremely right wing for whatever reason.

    How about you test marking videos as watched across devices so I don’t have the same shit pushed back at me all the time.

      How about shutting your mouth and consuming what we show you. No one’s asking if you’ve seen it already. Watch the ads!

      HOW ABOUT YOU STOP SHOWING ME ALREADY WATCHED VIDEOS IN GENERAL?! Why fill my home feed with shit I’ve seen already? I literally have to click (…), click (not interested), click (why?), click (I’ve already seen the video) FOR EVER SINGLE VIDEO I EVER WATCHED ON YT.

        I am using a pihole and I still have this problem. I’m logged in. I’m seeing videos I watchef last week or two months ago. Or yesterday. They are being resuggedted and do not show as watched if I go to that channel’s page. It’s infuriating.

    Not to mention their “1080p” streams look worse than 2013 480p streams. The site is a dumpster fire.

      I thought I was imagining this until I put a 1080p episode on one monitor and a 1080p YT vid on another. The difference was night and day.

    Why? Is everything going to shit? Like counts, view counts, dislikes … I suppose it won’t change anything for me on reVanced, but still… why?

    In the future you’ll pay $900/mo to stare at a blank page.

    And you’ll have to because all the free sites are entirely ads.

      You joke but like, they are already pushing a twitch style sub model pretty hard already with the youtube “private sub” system that creators can do, it grants you access to videos that the creator marked as a subscription only, which is basically the same thing, as it shows you the video, and a tiny “sub only” label, and when you try to open it it brings you to the sub page.

      I forsee in the future youtube moving to a fully monetary model with only brand issued content being “free” and everything else requiring youtube premium

        Just try it and see how your new cyborg hand DRM prevents unauthorized body modifications.

        Also, scientists are already at work finding ways to inject advertisements directly into your brain.

    In 5 years:

    Youtube tests small ads in the top corner during video playback.

    In 10 years:

    Youtube tests small increase in size of well established corner ads.

    In 15 years:

    Youtube graciously allows video playback inbetween ads

      In 20 years, “YouTube was an online video sharing platform…”

      I doubt they can make it to the next 20 years, the way they are controlling everything.

      Users can no longer upload and YouTube becomes just a CDN for Adsense.
