How about not making the grid view optimized for phone screens when the user is on PC and not fighting the plugins that the users install to fix that basic interface problem?

How about giving people the ability to block Shorts?

How about not making the search function completely useless by showing me only 10 results and then replacing the rest with "recommended videos" that have nothing to do with what I was searching?

How about giving me the ability to tell the algorithm I have already watched a video in a single click instead of taking me though menus every time?

How about stopping to try to shove unwanted features down my throat?

How about bringing back dislikes?

How about doing something about low quality, bot-generated content?

There's a reason why I use a third party client now.

Finally something useful.

The problem I have with the current feed is that it mostly recommends videos I’ve already watched, or channels I’ve marked as “don’t recommend this channel”. Craptastic.
