MODERATORS
 
  • on the mobile app, comments have links to search for fairly random words within them in YouTube search for no discernable reason
  • the comment box on mobile shows a preview of a comment, but when clicking on the preview it just goes to the top of the comments and the comment you clicked on is now lost
  • YouTube search works terribly and is less than 1/3 actual results
  • searching by upload date only shows around a dozen new videos before it completely stops working
  • searching watch history for terms in video titles almost never works, even if there are lots of videos with said title
  • ambient mode distracts from the video itself and looks pretty bad on Firefox
  • the tracking code when sharing links
  • how some videos have different caption formatting and there is no central way to turn it off for good
  • YouTube thumbnails are big now
  • YouTube recommending me a hundred videos on a topic I'm not interested in after I watch two or three videos on said topic
  • hover autoplay on video thumbnails
  • AI summaries in video descriptions, and AI integrations in YouTube Studio
  • The transcript button is now in the description for some reason
  • YouTube pushing mobile games in their homepage
  • Shorts
  • silently adding forced midroll ads
  • the slight gradient in the progress bar
  • there is no way to search a channel's videos on the mobile app
  • There is no way to turn on All subscription notifications in the mobile app without granting the app notification permissions
  • no more playlists in the sidebar
  • random community posts on the mobile homepage

There's no easy way to "mark video as watched" so that Youtube stops pushing that particular video in your feed but keeps recommending similar ones. (You can mark it "not interested" or "don't recommend channel," but those aren't the same thing.) Even if you aren't doing something Google would consider naughty like watching via FreeTube, NewPipe, or yt-dlp, there are legitimate cases like watching while logged-out or having a friend show you a video on their device that cause you to have seen a video without that watch getting recorded into your watch history.
