Search aside, I just wish they would start promoting video podcasts as an alternative to YouTube. The tech is already all there, just needs a gooder UI and paid delivery mechanisms. Just imagine: No ads. You subscribe to a vodcast and the app automatically downloads new "episodes" for offline perusal as they become available, and they remain on device as long as you want them to, just like how current podcasts work. Popular content creators could just manually embed ads or product placements in their videos, just like how some already do, or they could sell subscriptions at a price of their own choosing, or just accept Patreon donations etc.
