I mean I like easter eggs, but why not make it so that CSS is only downloaded on that page? Adding 286 bytes to every one of the billions of pageviews YT gets every day seems wasteful.
That would entail adding a branch instruction and risking a cache miss on every single video playback in order to save a couple hundred bytes in a data stream at least four orders of magnitude larger.
Least favourite behavior of YouTube these days is the mass of pimple popping and wart removal videos that show up near the top of search results for damn near anything. "Fluke 87v power on options"? Pimple popping. "Generator repair"? Wart removal. And it isn't just one, it's dozens of them, to the point where there might only be one or two relevant results and the rest are basically gore/grossout videos. It's still…
I think somebody watched a lot of pimple-popping videos while logged into your account. You might want to take a look at your viewing history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history Because that's definitely not a default. I've never seen YouTube recommend one of those in my life.

yt has this weird thing if you click on one vid. it will decide you want to see anything related to that one vid. yt will also throw 'random' things into your feed. Also I have seen just hovering over a video on desktop counting as 'viewed' in my history. So you may have inadvertently 'looked'. Use the do not recommend feature. That seems to calm it down.
Can someone tell me how @Seed has so many subs but no videos and odd content / comments? Buying / deleting videos / etc? He has people in his comments accusing him of commenting on their private videos / videos in private playlists.
- 10k subscribers - idiotic comments - "Who is..."/ "Why is... everywhere?" video

Those seem to be getting more common, it's very annoying. Another genre is autogenerated "product review" or "comparison" videos that are just ChatGPT-generated fluff copy read out by text-to-speech voice over a slideshow of product images, presumably to push an affiliate link in the description. Most of them get few if any views but they're so easy to make they just take the shotgun approach and hope some win the SE…
These reviews where the whole video is a slideshow + robotic voiceover are so annoying. They contain 0% information, they're just a delivery vehicle for ads. And there is a ton of them!
nice, this one breaks one of my userscripts
>Knowledge Base, at this current time has 1,054,762 videos uploaded.
Randomly GPT generated clickbait titles to 3-5 minute clips form some livestreams. If I was in control of YT such channels would be dropped for violating policy.
> However, it is possible for 249 countries to appear in the allowed list. It's not clear why this happens as it is the same has having no restriction at all. It seems to occur most frequently with music videos, potentially they had actual blocks at one point and the only way it can be undone is to move everything to allowed? Most likely this is the list sent by the rights holder.
Or they're carefully prepared for new countries to appear. No need to allow break-away rebellious countries the ability to watch the latest music video.

I worked with him and he was as weird as you'd expect. He got let go after getting in someone's face for saying "oh my god", because it's "taking god's name in vain". (: He used to do that back then too, AFAIK they were absolutely autogenerated. (throwaway because I don't want him to harass me, he does do that too)
Would you be okay sharing if he is/was he based in the US? His name seems a bit European/Dutch to me.
We allow those sorts of names in the US.
