Can we also talk about the dumpster fire that is YouTube?
I look up anything news related and the entire first few pages are Foxx/Murdoch and whatever other batsh*t content I don't want to see.
I cannot block channels from my search results and I have hardly any control of the content I see. I can't organise subscriptions by folder, I am inundated by "YouTube shorts".
Worst of all, I have a legacy YouTube account with a failed "gaia migration" that I cannot delete because the migration somehow failed and I can't access the content. I have tried contacting their support staff and they told me they couldn't help. It's been 6 years and they haven't been able to do anything about it.
Amazon, Microsoft, Apple - please make a competition service to YouTube focused on the viewer's experience.
- xmodem 5y agoDoes attempting to delete generate an error page of some sort? If so, you could try triggering it over and over again, as quickly as you can, for at least 10-15 minutes. This will cause their error rate to spike, and likely get the attention of their engineering team.

- apatheticonion 5y agoSadly I can't re-attempt a migration because my YouTube believes my legacy account has been merged (despite it not being merged). The gaia migration tool simply says "account not available for migration", and that's that.
