Now what's going on with YouTube?

i still have it :T

 

Thank you.

 

So now it seems like the biggest thing according to the YouTube zeitgeist at the moment is . . . food.

 

This isn't something that YouTube is really being affected by, surprisingly, but is anyone else besides me experiencing some serious lagging with Google products lately? Gmail seems to be hit with this the worst - it's taking several seconds for my inbox to finish loading, and it's hardly full at all.

 

Okay, so now YouTube's doing this thing where when you watch videos, that video's uploader's subscribers' videos they've also watched will now pop up in your recommended . . . for example, say if you watch a video and the uploader's subscribers watch a lot of Simpsons and/or Family Guy, then those Simpsons and/or Family Guy videos they watch will show up in your recommended . . . this explains why I'm seeing an abundance of Simpsons and Family Guy vids in my recommended, even though I haven't watched any Simpsons and/or Family Guy vids.

 

Has anyone else been getting a problem lately with the classic Edit Video page? For the last five days or so, the Views/Likes/Dislikes/Comments data on the right-hand side has all been showing 0.

It's occurring on both my main channel and one of my others, too.

 

Can’t say i’ve been noticing that as an issue.

 

Ugh. Now YouTube's gone back to shrinking the video player for certain videos again.

 

Sheesh! YouTube just tried to get me to subscribe to fifty channels that I have absolutely no interest in!

 

63 more channels! They just tried to get me to subscribe to another 63 channels! None of which I'm interested in! I hate when they do this!

 

And another 40 just now! That's literally over 150 channels that YouTube's tried to force me to subscribe to today, none of which I have any friggin interest in! Just let me see the channels I'm subscribed to!

 

What channels are they recommending you?

 

And now another 50, that makes well over 200 channels YouTube's tried forcing on me today!

And they're nothing but a bunch of random channels that I've never heard of, let alone care about. Some of them are official channels, like Fox News, Sony Entertainment, Glove & Boots, various PBS channels, Top 10 channels, what have you, but most of them are just . . . random: fishing channels, food channels, music channels, wrestling channels, whatever.

 

Another 73, bringing it to a current total of 296 channels that YouTube's tried to force me to subscribe to today.

 

That's how it is when I watch videos.

 

And another 50; current total: 346!

 

Okay, so now as I log out for the night, the final total is 378 channels that YouTube tried to make me subscribe to.

 

Yikes. Can you do something about all of this?
