i was a YouTube Premium subscriber ever since i was grandfathered in with the closure of Play Music up until last month. every single new feature worsened my experience until i couldn't take it anymore and cancelled. i gave feedback with every new feature and trial but i never got a reply and things just kept getting worse and worse. the worst offenders: * forcing Music content in my YouTube feeds -- i use YouTube solely for videos and Music for music. even so, i would say around 1/2 of the items on my YouTube feed are music and useless playlists. you cannot turn this off * forcing Shorts down my throat -- i'm sure their numbers shows huge engagement numbers with Shorts but it's the exact opposite kind of content i use YouTube for. i watch longer-form videos, not short form clips. they show up in my feed, in my search results, and i'm pretty sure one time i was A/B'd into the app launching into Shorts by default. you cannot turn this off * Search is abysmally bad -- for each query, it will return 2 or 3 videos maybe possibly related to all synonyms of all the words in my query OR'd together, followed by unrelated Shorts, followed by completely unrelated videos i've already watched, followed by completely unrelated videos with inappropriate clickbait thumbnails, and on and on and on. you cannot turn this off * did i mention they were forcing Shorts down my throat? because the straw that broke the camel's back was when they informed me that they were introducing Music Shorts. as if the playlistification of music listening turning music into muzak weren't bad enough, now we have Shorts which incentivize yet another race-to-the-bottom for music. i understand my music listening preferences do not match those of the masses, but there's no way i can turn it off. for those reason and plenty more i don't feel like typing out, google can lick my asshole. adblock forever.
