Bingo. And it has gotten worse in recent months as they had to censor and cater to the mainstream media.
> Results aren't complete (they probably create a short search table/cache every few hours based on a finite, semantically-defined number of categories)
Also, heavily weighted towards paying customers and their own pet projects. Some days, youtube is just filled with SNL, late night show, movie trailers, logan paul, youtube drama, etc.
> Every day hundreds of people create new channels making interesting, thought-provoking and informative videos, and youtube decides to hide them in favour of clickbait garbage and shitty ads, and take away all means you have to discover them.
I remember just a few years ago, one of the fun things to do was go down youtube's rabbit hole. Now, youtube is just another managed and curated platform to funnel you to certain corporate interests.
Even when stephen hawking pass away, the only thing on youtube was CNN's video of it. What a marked difference from a few years ago when steve jobs passed away.
Sadly, youtube is just becoming a "tv platform" now. Which is a shame.
