wth youtube!?

@YouTube, @Neal Mohan

in the latest app you have removed the one button i use everyday - subscriptions. you moved it to a location so far that its breaking 13 years of muscle memory

i completely understand you want custom feeds and that the subscriptions is also a feed but does anyone on your team really use the app you make?

just check online, all the recent reviews on the respective app store, reddit, your own community blog - absolutely no one likes this

over that you have removed any filter option within the feeds - i can no longer choose to see only videos (is this another of your relentless effort to shove shorts down our throats?)

i understand you have a defacto monopoly and that nothing we say will make a difference - but is it really that difficult to give a couple of additional options in settings to retain the sub button where it was or atleast disable shorts appwide/sitewide?

i know you are getting tons of engagement on low quality slop shorts and therefore you risk losing all that low quality engagement that is keeping your counts high - this is also probably why you changed what count as a view so that you can pump these numbers higher right?

just know that you are reaching an inflection point where the original creators and viewers are only here until they find better alternatives

for now many are getting by using morphe or revanced or the many other options - on which you are probably spending a ton of money and resources to make it difficult for them to functions. they were alive and fighting before ai and that fight will only improve thanks to ai

nebula among others is seeing more creators join and im assuming many more will

please stop shooting yourself in the foot and allow people to keep the experience they want, not what you feel will pump up your numbers at the expense of the people who helped grow your platform
