Can't agree more. I hate YouTube shorts, hate YouTube monetization despite the constant praise it gets on HN, hate the search results when looking for videos, hate I can't see dislikes, hate that I constantly am suggested videos I've already watched and content I've already flagged I don't want to see, especially content flagged annoying. Maybe an a/b test, but it was bonkers to have a survey prompt "Why is this not interesting?", I flagged "this is annoying" and sure enough that very popular creator was suggested again later. YouTube is so bloated and Vanced made it tolerable, so of course they killed it.
