I was trying to search for something inside a specific channel the other day. The results were so random that I wasn’t confident I was even seeing all of the videos that had the word I typed in. Doesn’t help that it’s full on chaos sort with no option of any other sorting method. Complete trash.
I remember for a minute YouTube search was better than Google search. Now they’re both horrible
Censorship does retarded shit to things.
It’s not censorship. It’s just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.
They did change the algorithm to censor results in google search and now YouTube has also been censored.
Stop assuming corporate greed is anything but corporate greed… PLEASE stop blaming generic things for things the greedy fucks are doing. You will become infinitely more wise if you come to understand the vast majority of shitty things that happen from corps or governments are actions to protect the wealth and ego of the rich.
YouTube’s enshittification is about GREED, not censorship.
Censoring did happen. Why do you assume i don’t agree that corporate greed is also an issue?
also grow the fuck up and stop using slurs like a petulant eight year old schoolboy stuck in 2005.
Petulant
Definitional collapse in action; how is this relevant?

Petulant is not the same as retarded. Petulant describes you acting like a pedantic fool when being called out for using a slur that denigrates disabled people. Soak your head you feckless imbecile.
I’m a different guy than OP.
“Petulant” actually means acting in a sulky or bad-tempered manner, ie. what children do when they don’t get their way. So I repeat: How is it relevant?
Ooooo you can be pedantic too. Shut the fuck up and stop defending slurs. Go back to Reddit.
Shut the fuck up and go back to Reddit where it’s trendy to use and defend slurs you ableist fuck.
That’s not what’s happening here, sorry.
It’s like it just gives up after about 8 results. “These 8 results don’t contain what you want? I give up. Here, just watch one of these videos instead.”
Screw you, just show me the rest of the results, I swear it’s in the top 30 results.
I think you mean:
“These 8 results don’t contain what you want? I give up. Here, just watch one of these
videosshorts instead.”It wants you to use their fees. It wants to tell you what to watch like Instagram.
Down the rightwing pipeline you go~, that anger and immaturity is big business!
Outrage drives engagement. They push whatever will get the biggest reaction.
Searching/surfing YouTube is like searching/surfing Imgur. It’s a site for content hosting so you can link from other places. You have to go to online communities to find links to good videos.
There are good channels that are worth subscribing to, but going to YouTube directly is like trudging though a swamp.
It’s not like they’re part of a company whose core product is search.
Their core product is advertising.
A trick to get better results (I.e. without suggestions etc) is to add “before:2026” TP your search string. This filters out a lot of the garbage, and leaves you with search results alone. I somehow feel the need to do it most times now, if I’m searching for something very specific.
Why 2026? Isn’t everything on YouTube made before 2026
That’s the point. You get all the videos, but with a lot less crud.
But why does it work?
I’m not gonna question it, and just be happy it works for now 😄
I’m guessing it just widens the search parameters outside of what they are pushing with the algorithm, so you’re actually searching everything instead it filtering to cater to newer content and “hot” channels.
I can search for the litteral title in quotes and not find it. Have to ise duckduck go smh
You wanted to find “KSP ssto tutorial?” Are you sure you wouldn’t rather rewatch a Technology Connections video you watched last week?

so many ways 2 avoid getting personalized garbage results, and yet
Honestly, I only use Freetube and still get about 3 relevant results, then a whole bunch of unrelated bs / seemingly random playlists and shorts. After that there are relevant results again.
Still, these apps are great recommendations.
