I don't see that on the videos I watch. For example, this section from a song I recently listened to. Very nice comments. The Beatles - Within You Without You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsffxGyY4ck Do you see a bunch of spam comments? Maybe my ad blocker is blocking them?
I see "Video unavailable" + "Comments are turned off"

Why does everything have to keep innovating? Youtube was fine years ago. People make stuff, I subscribe and watch it. Sure throw in some algorithmic discovery on the side. Bring back dislike count. Other than that I don't care for any innovation. Just keep the lights on.
yea I'm a daily users of YT. Pay for premium. Don't produce. Only consume. Probably their ideal customer and I think the app is great. No idea what people are bitching about.
Nothing about Youtube the platform needs to change. It just works.

Just discovered something very interesting: She is resigning one day after Google received a subpoena from the U.S. House of Representatives demanding answers to questions on censorship of conservative voices, and specifically on content moderation decisions. Yes, just yesterday. Subpoena to resignation. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-republicans-subpoena... https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/…
It’s a coincidence. This had to be in works for months (or something substantial had to go down). Also, they get subpoenaed all the time across various committees.
Positives: * Presided over a vast increase in revenue, from $4 to $29 billion * Steered the ship through a number of content controversies * Anecdotally, the brand value of YouTube remains good * YouTube Premium seems to have good uptake * Presided over enormous cost savings with custom encoder hardware * Few major technical outages, good streaming performance generally * Relationships with advertisers and content cr…

> Bring back dislike count. Not to mention "sort by oldest first".
YouTube started out as a site that gave the middle finger to (c)opywrong laws, and it still has that spirit alive, while growing into an incredible resource to learn and grow. It's also damn fast and easy to publish to. Thank you Susan!
no it doesn't has that spirit anymore, channels who get too many copyright strikes get banned.
Why do you even credit "Susan" for any of that? She isn't a Youtube founder, but a pure product of Google culture.

Is it? I see in the network requests where the "likes" button data is returned, but not the dislikes. It's possible I just can't find it though - there's a lot of data in a lot of shapes.
The dislike count is from an external tracker, not YouTube's own data.

Tech companies have not feared the US government in decades. They embarrass or ignore US senators and representatives. See former (yes, they can subpoena you after you leave the company) Twitter employees embarrassing Donald Trump at these same hearings last week.
The more likely conspiracy theory is Wojcicki lost an internal power struggle. Google hasn't been doing great. Pichai hasn't been doing great. Wojcicki going for the top job and not getting it, and leaving is a much more believable scenario.
