I got recommended this 21 year old video and it seemed to be kinda like an ARG, can anyone help me find out if it is or not?

Im not here to criticize or be negative about Art content creators but evey time I open YT, I always get bombarted by vids that has explicit content, goon-bait htumbnail and straight up corn promoting channels. Always the same slop, but these kinds of vids and animation in general are getting views like crazy.

I guess being an animation style Youtuber is an easy way of making money...

I find this funny tbh. Everytime I got copyrighted music on a stream. I get blocked in Russia. Anyone got the same problem?

Some people said he started these highly edited almost uncanny valley types of thumbnails, and recently it's become the standard for big channels.

Do you think he really started this? Some say it's just the evolution of clickbait title/thumbnails.

Found this on my YouTube recommendation feed, and wowie am I surprised that YouTubers ACTUALLY know what the word "ACCOUNTABILITY" means.

what on earth it this? cant even see how many views something has now...

also why is there a giant empty space?

The app is struggling to consistently play videos on my IPhone. My internet speed is good, I restarted all involved devices and have even deleted and reinstalled the app, yet the problem doesn’t seem to go away.
Videos load way slower than usual and when they do, they are often interrupted by the buffering symbol.

Has anyone been experiencing something similar or have any ideas how to solve this?

Dear AI Moderators... F.U.

There is no way 7.7B people watched this bs. YouTube has been recommending me strange videos lately like this one. How the hell does this have 7.7 Billion views in 3 seconds?

Today I have gotten a new problem with an YouTube app on my phone. The videos take a lot of time before starting and constantly they are pausing to load. I tought it was my internet, but every other App or browser showed no issues, in fact while using youtube in chrome browser on the same device and same internet connection videos are loading normally without constantly getting paused. I tried clearing App cache and days, deleted updates and updated it again. Restarted router, restarted device. Nothing works, still long loads with constant pauses. What might cause the problem?

I've noticed that only the videos that play when you hover over them on the homepage load for me. None of the videos that don't hover-play load in 1080p, only in 360 or lower. Could it be my browser or my internet provider?

Hello, since yesterday the Youtube app doesn't load videos anymore. I can watch like 30 seconds and then it's an endless buffer. I also updated the app, it didn't help.

Anyone else?

I understand that add experience is largely personalized but I can't be the only one bombarded with scam.

From financial grifts to church calls and donation asks, crypto and one time opportunities it is becoming ridiculous.

All videogame add I receive are exclusively AI, also all those AI movie makers and "creative writings" slop but I don't even use any AI except what google throws up when I search something.

All of it is scam or scam adjacent it has became ridiculous.

the last 20% are normal: hygiene, groceries, ultra process foods and politics slop.

Idk if I’m the only one experiencing this but when I try to watch a video it plays for like 30 seconds and after that it’s constantly loading. Even when I put the quality down it still doesn’t work. Anybody have any fixes?

for some reason the account i use on my phone randomly got age restricted. A lot of videos are limited along with any songs labeled explicit on yt music. I am a teenager and my account has me listed as that, yet these things were not restricted before. When i check my settings it doesnt say restricted mode is on either, so i have no idea how to tell what is going on. this same thing happened with another account but eventually stopped so if anyone knows what this is i hope i can get some information and advice on how to fix it.

So I got so many old vid to point I just make a playlist for it so ik how many old vid did I just encounter, it only happened on my phone YouTube, luckily i don't experience that weirdness on my laptop or tv tho

Anyone know the answer? And btw there is a moment where I just found so many old vid in a day it felt like my entire YouTube fyp only had old vid

Here some photo for proof or for better context

Is there a way I can get rid off all GTA6 videos to not be spoilered?

a few days ago i commented something on a short (it was me basically dissing a character’s voice) but a few days later, i was watching a separate video (not shorts) when i saw MY COMMENT in the comment section. the reason why i’m kinda freaking out is because that video happened to be an FNF COVER and if the creator saw my comment they would think i was hating on them 😭😭😭😭

i deleted the comment there and made another apologising for the mistake but does anyone know how i can stop this from happening?? it has happened a few times before and i don’t wanna repeat my mistake
