Search used to be so useful πŸ˜‘

It's even affected YouTube.

At least YouTube is recommending videos by color now

But finding the two uploaders I watch daily is a chore.

Youtube has been a bitch and a half for a while now. It keeps showing me the same suggested videos over and over and over, most of them irrelevant to the search!

Do you pay for premium? I do and I feel like the experience I have on the platform is leaps and bounds better than what people describe on a free account. I wouldn’t put it past Google to actively make the product worse when you aren’t paying.

I pay and still get the color recommendation, garbage search, it auto plays videos when I search on a TV app, and auto plays a second time when I try to back out of the video it just auto played, it recommends the same channel 23 times in my recommended and half the time nothing I'm subscribed to which I still am and have to go hunting in subscriptions because of all the stupid fucking shorts that take up most of my subscription feed now and they raised my price just now because I was one of the first fucking YouTube red subscribers and they can't even respect their grandfathered plans!

Sorry. YouTube has been pissing me off for a while now. And no I don't think paying for it makes it better. But I can believe them making it somehow still worse if I didn't!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Every time I want to search by date I have to open invidious because YouTube search by upload date only sorts like the last week and then past that it's back to just relevance
