The amount of human knowledge available today on youtube I think nothing will ever come close as apart from formal knowledge we have millions of small hacks improvements that would probably not been written down but have been recorded. If you are dedicated enough today you can go from being a novice to being quite proficient in 100s of different things. And every day the knowledge keeps increasing as well as improvin…

The problem is that Youtube severely nerfed their search (ironic given that Google still pretends it's a search company). Now if you search for something will give you 5 relevant videos, 10 "for you videos" and then an endless list of something it hopes you will engage with, whether relevant or not

I use google search then select videos try it you will probably get better results instead of youtube search. I wonder if they google search scans the subtitles as well from youtube so has better results.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The crappification of YouTube has already begon with Shorts and the inability to disable this completely useless content.

Idk if I am in different AB group but I no longer have the X there........

Mainstream media is dying fast and YouTube is replacing it #ftw You can watch what you want, when you want, search and recommendations are powerful. Individual content creators are on fire, unfiltered and quality content. Can't remember when we watched MSM in the last 10 years, like other said it's garbage and just propaganda.

> Mainstream media is dying fast and YouTube is replacing it #ftw Traditional linear media is surely being push out, but YouTube is also being "replaced" by short form media. > You can watch what you want, when you want, search and recommendations are powerful. On demand part is surely powerful, but are you sure on the recommendation? Did you remember a few years ago people are talking about horrible youtube recommen…

True, however the point is you are in control and have a choice of what to watch and what not!

Search are rapidly trash, while recommendation required some effort on my part to cultivate or otherwise trash might sneak in. It's certainly the golden age of youtube, with high quality creators, I learned a lot of interesting stuff that I probably otherwise wouldn't, though it's hard to know because I would have read about these things in magazines. But there are some issues in the space. For example, my attempt to…

Agreed, it's easy to report copyright (even if it is fake to take someone channel down) and its taken down immediately and they don't have a way to even appeal and get back.

While it's tough to report genuine cases like you mentioned.
