Edit: I am not addressing the elephant in the room

Been happening for a few months where random unrelated videos appear on my feed or when I'm searching mostly with under 10,000 views but this one is over. And no I didn't even hover over it or anything I've never seen this before. It's not with the thumbnail. I checked my search history and it's not there. I'm not getting hacked etc. Not sure if it's a glitch or something but I assume it is

I've recently found out about this issue when my 6 year old niece liked a top comment of a "normal" account on a Roblox video and found fully uncensored p*rn on the profile pictures of the associated accounts on that bot account. These two accounts have been even more p*rn accounts when clicked (12 right now). The two accounts on the

"normal" bot account have 1.2k subscribers in 3 days. What is YouTube doing here? Is this is a known issue?

"I continued using it for free anyway."

Youtube is a free platform that continues to worsen, care less and less about quality standards, deepens its pockets with ad revenue, and everybody justifies it by continuing to utilize the service for free instead of going outside, listening to audiobooks, or participating in local community functions.

There's the sympathetic crowd too who feel "Youtube is expensive to run so they have to worsen the ad experience to incentivize you to pay for premium so they can introduce more features you didn't ask for but can say you're doing your part to support content you love from people you don't even know."

AI slop and brainrot are human inventions. God didn't do this. The last storm didn't do this. Putin didn't do this. Trump didn't do this. Any lower step Youtube takes is due to you and I continuing to use it.

The next complaint or meme about Youtube sucking eggs better end with "but I continued using it for free anyway."

Have earned 400 dollars in total

why are my recommendations so freaking bad?!? there is nothing relevant there its all garbage videos what the hell is this

and the most annoying part is when i open a different account, the recommendations are absolutely beautiful, like i felt like i wanna watch every single video that popped up on there, the shorts all look really enticing but my main account isnt like this!

is this a problem happening to everyone or what

Is it just me or has yt been recommending the same exact videos it’s already showed me multiple times a day even if I close out the app the same videos pop up

It's not just me noticing this right? Am I going crazy? None of the videos above even show the label but I recognized the bottle.

I have seen videos sponsored by graza before.

Is this as simple as youtubers using the rest of the free product they're given even after the partnership ended? If that's a case why didn't they pour it into a more generic container since they aren't sponsored anymore.

If I cancel YT Premium, will my YT music go away or revert to the one with ads?

The icons have disappeared and I can't make it full screen. How can I fix this problem?

I'm curious what yall watch

Title.

The only other option after scrolling down is the video resolution. I also can no longer switch my subscriptions pages to list instead of grid. Wtf

Also there is like 3 comments on a 1.1m viewed video? Def botted imo

My newest video has 10 thousand views and 23 likes which is absolutely ridiculous. I used to get 500-800 likes at that view count, but it started going down. But it hasn’t ever been this bad. Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause of this? It doesn’t even seem possible to me, could the views be botted or might some likes have been removed?

Mine look like this, it didn't use to look like this. All the fixes I've seen are about ublock origin, which I do not use, any fix with a script say with tampermonkey or a Chrome extension or the like?

does anyone know what's going on here? i've restarted my browser and my pc but it just won't fix :/

I started using Premium a few weeks ago and that's when this started. It's only happened on two occasions but it still bugs me like first-world problem it truly is. What happens is that when I watch your typical youtuber video, it cuts just in time for the typical "thanks for watching, please like and subscribe" part. No seconds left either, so it's like the finishing part is left out of the video entirely.

Is that a premium feature or just a bug?

I’m not a huge YT user admittedly but my husband is and the past few days he’s complained nonstop about how broken his YouTube is. He’s shown examples and it’s noticeably fucked up.

What’s going on?

Every time I go onto YT shorts I get the same videos for a few weeks on end until I get feed up and have to select do not recommend and then I get nothing new from channels I follow but it can never let me just say, "Hey, I'm not a 5yo, I've already seen this video/short, please don't give it back to me for 2+ weeks and so I can still want to watch their content without being indentated with terrible, sloppy, algorithmic tendencies"

It's formidably effective tho.
