It's just a conveyor belt of bs. I can't disable comments, chat, etc. I don't care about uploading shorts. I'm tired of constant redesigns or moving things around. I just want to see videos related to what I search for or channels I'm subscribed to. I instantly feel like I'm capital to be maximized rather than a respected user when I open YouTube. Edit: While typing this they felt the need to use a push notification for some breaking news video. Add it to the pile of bullshit.

  > I can't disable comments, chat, etc. Comments under video are just a thin 50px tall bar, just don't click on it? Just like you don't have to scroll down on the web. Just fullscreen and watch your video. > I don't care about uploading shorts Then don't press the shorts button? > I'm tired of constant redesigns or moving things around I don't think youtube gets that much redesign. On android, the biggest recent changes are dark mode (optional), making comment section smaller actually, and the chip filtering system. > I just want to see videos related to what I search for Then use the search button, it does just that > or channels I'm subscribed to. There's a tab dedicated to subscriptions, and it only shows chronological order of videos from your subscriptions, nothing else. You can also filter by a specific channel, or by tags such as (today, unwatched, etc). > a push notification for some breaking news video All notifications can easy be blocked, either at the app or OS level. Takes 3 clicks.

    Saying something like "just don't click on it" to someone who has opinions about a dopamine farming enterprise is like putting a cake in front of a morbidly obese person and telling them "just don't eat it", or putting some victimhood story in front of a redditor and telling them "don't re-assure them it wasn't their fault and they're not alone". You may be right, but it's not very effective is it?

It's designed for "growth and engagement" as opposed to being a tool to serve the user. Dark & addictive patterns, etc. Not to mention that it's still a privacy nightmare even if you pay for Premium.
