in reply to @Fuzunga's post:

My favorite thing is when you type in something like "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer" because I was feeling nostalgic for an old movie trailer and then 9 of the first 10 things are shit other than what I just input into my search bar.

Isn't it cool how every aspect of the internet got worse in the past decade?!

I hate that related videos on the side of the player don't default to the "related" tab and instead try to shove unrelated "popular" crap in my face. Bonus points for when that crap is right-wing culture war rage bait about how woke is killing Speak & Spell or some shit.

I basically never do anything with recommendations (I either hit the subscription tab or search what I'm looking for), but Youtube Search is the worst. If even half of the first 10 results are actually in any way related to the query that's a win at this point.
