> _lots of_ ads everywhere Be fair and buy Youtube Premium, or use a better Adblocker? > Ads load better than the video Maybe because they are shorter and there are less of them, so proxys can better cache them. > after reporting too many of those ads, I've lost the function to report any ad at all. I'm not kidding, the menu item is just gone. Makes sense if you are spamming the system and they considered them false flag. > recommendations are showing me lots of videos I've watched before Maybe you want to rewatch them or add a comment. That's not that unusual. > OR are totally unrelated to what I'm interested in Not YET. > recommendations are often filled with videos from 6 to 10 years ago Nothing wrong with old videos. There is many cool old stuff on Youtube. 6 or 10 Years is not that much. Unless you are only in gossip and news? > All in all YouTube seems to be a total shitshow and it feels like they don't care anything at all about the user experience. It might not be your perfect experience, but considering their size and broad audience, it's pretty hard to serve everyone equal good. And recommendations are generally a hard problem. Getting even a low number of successes is quite good. > What's your experience on YT these days? Is it similar to mine or totally different? I'm curious whether the ads are related to the content you watch. Maybe you are mostly watching hard to monetize videos, where only the wild ads which are not that picky with their customers are shown.
