YouTube now suggests new content by colour
(szmer.info)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Things I wish YouTube would let me do:
If they'd implement even half of that, my user experience would shoot up through the roof. But, you know, they couldn't give a rat's ass about user experience.
I'd also like them to fix the search. It only returns a small handful of results and then the rest is just recommended stuff not relating to the search
I know it's been said many times, but I truly miss the old internet. Fuck this homogeneous, corporatized, spyware ridden, ad infested, data harvesting, soulless, pile of fucking dogshit called the modern internet.
With terrible UI on top. Like seriously YouTube let me hide videos after I've watched them.
Not only that, let me hide whole dumbass channels. Then apply a similar function at Google search so I can spare my eyes from seeing a 1000 temu ads with each result.
Just let my choose which sites I want to block from showing me search results and ads.
Add "autoplay the next episode of the podcast I'm watching if it's available." Yeah, youtube, I really wanna watch Well There's Your Problem #138 immediately after Well There's Your Problem #43. Idiot.
"Let's Play Dumbcraft! Ep. 1"
Then get every other Episode except Ep. 2 listed, so you have to go to the channel and manually find it...
Oh god yes I hate this so much. If I want to control the playback speed of video there is an option in the settings for that. If they wanted to make it an option to fast forward by doing something rather than just changing the setting globally, it would have been better if they had picked literally anything other than me having to keep my finger on the mouse button. It should have been if I hold down the right arrow key.
One thing that brought back the joy of earlier times youtube for me was
Holding left click to fast forward is the best feature they've d added in a long time
Currently the set up that makes youtube somewhat tolerable for me is, Ublock Origin (obviously), sponsor block, Return youtube dislike, Youtube-shorts block , and UnHook. Another option would be to use invidous, Freetube, or NewPipe, but all of them are not perfect and have their own limitations.
