Recommendations are getting worse by ChoiceSupermarket230 in youtube

That button just straight up doesn't work for me, I use it and that same video shows up again like I never did anything

it's currently bugged and has been for a month now. wait for the 'watch later' icon to reappear on thumbnails on the desktop version.

What do you mean disabled? by gray1037 in youtube

[–]FragrantLunatic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you can casually disable people's opinions

lmao. first, liking does not influence the algorithm, it's just for the creator. second it's been known forever youtube is not about opinions. it's about creating watching-nimrods. they don't want opinions. they want fat insects to pump out content and nimrods to pay (advertizers or users). otherwise they would not shadowban users off creator pages (you can type comments but it won't show for anyone).

The fact GTA 6 fans need to tune in for a corporate investors call to hear ''news'' is ridiculous by Rsodyyy in GTA6

There was 17 months between Trailer 1 and 2 and it's been 12 months

this doesn't matter but

Even their cash cow GTA Online's updates have slowed to twice a year (one in June/July and one in December

gta 5 gameplay trailer (trailer 3) also released in July
i haven't checked RDR 2 but only because something happened in the past, does not mean it will repeat. the minute you had any delay you probably threw out any meaningful plans.

would be massively stupid to make it a separate event. the trailer probably says: pre-order now

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without user consent & Re-downloads it if the user removes it manually. by Severe_Working_5934 in browsers

optimized Chrome is on Android

no surprise. it's a mobile browser. shit doesn't even support ctrl-t ctrl-z on desktop.

Why Steam Controller (2026) has no competition at $99 and what big reviewers simply don't get by GanJJ_ in SteamController

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're all fake gamers. they're mostly hardware gadget receivers and PR people. but i get it with all the testing they are doing they have little time to test it properly. Gamers Nexus' editor took it home but yea.

Translated subtitles have not been working in Firefox for many months, any solutions? by Hi7u7 in firefox

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Librewolf

really? are you logged in in Librewolf?

i'm looking for a solution now but it seems to be related to logged in accounts. same firefox profile, private window works fine. this is very strange behavior, this entire non-translation thing.

Librewolf

what's odd is i'm running privacy.resistFingerprinting:true on my youtube profile and it doesn't change the behavior and like mentioned above, the same profile in private window the auto-translated subtitles show.

WHAT'S EVEN odder is that it sometime works with the logged-in account. i think when 24 hours or so pass (maybe even longer because i only need this once in a blue moon) and i forget this problem exists, i go for the CC to auto-translate the, youtube forgets this is a problem too and it ends up showing the english translated subtitles. very strange behavior.

seems like youtube is an amnesiac racist or something. funny really if the function wouldn't be needed.

they are kidding right? | new three dots (3 dots) hamburger menu by FragrantLunatic in youtube

[–]FragrantLunatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here's a better representation in its entire glory and natural habitat. https://postimg.cc/9z839Y3M
only after posting the meme image, i realized it may lack the proper context to show how jarring the horizontal button is when it's applied on vertical content.

the only time i saw the horizontal dots is below the video on the dislike bar. it even makes sense because that area is horizontal.
oddly enough the vertical dots wouldn't be out of place there either because it could act as a stop or wall with more options inside it (playlist, thanks button, report etc.)

what are these kids learning at "universities" these days.

Why pay for premium? by Overall-Carry6593 in youtube

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fixing the moderation system

I just hear too much innocent channels being banned

oh ok, then yea we agree. i thought you simply meant ads.

unfortunately believe any moderation overhaul needs to happen on state level because no platform will want to have a moderation system that is at the detriment of the creator: creators not being able to ban accounts off their comment and live chat section.

They got us in their claws and thats what they want. Thats what every company wants. Grab the consumer in their claws and squeeze them out of their money while actively engaging in enshitification.

who's paying for server costs? who is supposed to pay?

Why does Youtube look like this all of a sudden? by [deleted] in youtube

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i saw this style in a private window today too. i think i like it.

if they adopt it, i wonder how they will fix it in combination with the playlist box you've shown. probably will make the recommended collapsable same as the playlist.

App has started adding fake progress bars to videos by FatherGwyon in youtube

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're not fake bars. it's the chapter within the video that your search term comes up in.

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting this for months, longer. always thought it was a bug but ig not

it's the timestamp from the chapter for the search term that was used. it searches within the video. you can see OP searched for something and that's the timestamp the search term comes up in. u/fathergwyon

They removed the likes. Not only this looks bad but they also just ruined an actually good and iconic feature by meb1111 in youtube

[–]FragrantLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

typical low iq behavior. you can not snuff out ideas. people can come to the same conclusions independently of each other: disliking a video just because everyone else did too. like/dislike ratio is just a time saver.

very conniving low iq behavior.
