My god i cant find anything unless i type out an exact name of the video, recommendations under currently watched videos and just in general are the same no matter what. It feels like a lottery when you hope that youtube will bless you with content that you were searching for. Im aware that im ranting but i just cant with it anymore. All they had to do is just leave things how they were and not gut an algorithm that worked just fine before. I recently used bilibili and the contrast is painful. Like WHAT??? A related but not seen before video/thumbnail??? Under a video of the same nature??? What a brilliant idea!!!
The search only showing like 4 results and the rest being recommendations is new behaviour right? I feel like it wasn’t like that like two weeks ago
Ive noticed it a while ago, dont know exactly when, but more than two weeks
Six months, at least, I think, but I wouldn’t rule out yet another recent change.
It’s infuriating when the actual search results are useless, too.
Usually if you keep scrolling down past the recommendations there are more search results
