YouTube broke search filters as a temporary fix
- rmason 8y agoI've publicly tweeted about this as well. So is this a case where they're calling a bug really a feature?
- dragonwriter 8y agoNo, they are calling it a bug that they intend to resolve produced during the effort to implement a feature. They both acknowledge that it is not working as expected and state that they intend to restore it to expected function and will notify of that on the issue.
- lm28469 8y agoAfaik they did that after the NZ shooting to prevent people from finding the millions of reuploads of the killer's stream.
- miniyarov 8y agoSingle time I wanted to use filter to find a specific thing and at the same time see this thread in HN :/
- ksaj 8y agoIt doesn't really affect your subscriptions at least. It does affect searching for anything current that isn't in your subscriptions, though. I discovered this a few days ago when a band I'm subscribed to announced an upcoming album, and that their agent released 2 songs off of it. Not knowing the agent's name or the new song titles sure made them hard to find since this band has a LOT of significantly older stuff showing up before the 2 new songs finally appear. I wish they'd just add a 24 hour delay or something less extreme than punishing the legit content makers this way.
- paulddraper 8y agoReminds me of Github removing search due to security concerns. Now it's back; it just doesn't work very well.
