Because it fucking sucks. Try looking up anything like a news blooper or someone snapping a segment of a news clip and you’ll get nothing but official news channels that have no relevance to what you were searching for.

Combine that with how half way down the page, search gives up and shows you “recommendations” for stuff that’s like what you’ve already watched but nothing to do with what you’re searching for.

Gee, wonder why search isn’t being used much anymore…

Probably, their search is fucking worthless outside of super popular stuff. After a few results heres a bunch of crap you didn't ask for. Even Bing is a better youtube search at this point.
