I miss old YouTube so much it hurts omg. i miss how it wasn't about engagement, branding, money or camera quality, it was about broadcasting yourself and having fun. now it's become a bland corporate shell of what it used to be and half of my recommendations are AI slop lol
source: I'm so old I remember when YouTube vids were rated with stars and everyone had neon channels with funky text
Do people generally just watch YouTube recommendations? Literally my entire usage of YouTube has been looking for something in particular (how tos or whatever) or I have a large amount of channels I'm subscribed to that I go look at their channel specifically for any new content I want to watch.
I only ever go straight to the Subscriptions page. I've got enough good quality channels to keep me entertained for long enough. I'll occasionally check out a new channel form the suggestions on the sidebar, and I've found enough good new ones that way to keep me doing it, but it's not a frequent occurrence. The thing I like about these services is that you can curate whatever experience you like by being sufficiently selective with what you click on, and the more you click on good quality stuff, the more stuff like that it'll show you.
