>even porn sites are miles ahead in search accuracy
it will never be even close to truth
I agree with the rest though

>even porn sites

porn always adapts video technology first and industries follow it.

the latest update looks like absolute garbage. it's so basic and simple, who in their right minds thinks that looks good?

search for "knife" on youtube

if a decent music-supplying website appears youtube will die mark my words

what are you trying to communicate to me?
If I was trying to look for videos of knife making I would be more specific, if for knife reviews I would be more specific etc.

so youtube is now entering the "i miss old Sup Forums" phase. That hot knife faggot should have his rectal O-ring vivisected on camera with his own equipment, at 1000 degrees.
>It's just an experiment bro!

It has nothing but those stupid 100 degree knife videos and video game knifes.
How the fuck is that the first result when you search for something so common?

youtube search, and google effectively, is based all on context largely
this is what allows you to search for statements like
>how do i fuck up a post on Sup Forums
and get proper results

porn sites are based on keywords and filters, therefore 1 word searches work best on them
if you try the above noted context based search, you'll get pretty fucking retarded results

search for a specific knife on youtube, and you'll get videos based on that knife
search for a specific action in porn, and you better hope that it's a popular tag people use otherwise you're SOL.

The results are personalized and based off of your previous searches/watch history.

Wrong.
Because they are popular, and no search can predict what is going on in your mind. You have to specify what are you really looking for. It's really weird that someone who attends Sup Forums does not know how computers work.

The point of o return was when "reaction videos" became popular.

Watching someone watching something is just to much.

Hopefully a replacement for youtube is on its way

having a competitor for youtube won't bring back the good old days of videos - if anything it'll be worse.

they even killed Notifications... that new Bell button is fucking garbage. You can't ignore threads, can't reply in-line.. it's just garbage.

I completely removed comment notifications now because it's a pain.

Too bad because I learned something over the years when people responded to my questions to some technical videos.

Just fuck Google.

The quality of youtube streams are basically perfect

Doesn't matter, their interface is annoying and outdate too.

We need something new that plays videos filmed vertically, that allows you to stream and post whatever without all those copyrights

Its fucking 2017, shill, cmon!
If a streaming service is not providing near prefect video quality, it is pretty much a non streaming service.

>basic and simple
>bad

Watch minutes is killing Youtube.

Chinese cartoons often pioneer it before that.

youtube.com/watch?v=socyyIxExqs

You're welcome.

Im not shilling, I'm just saying its not all that bad. I also have a feeling that the random streams coming up is because the majority of them are illegal and they cant be advertised as what they actually are, so they put up football games n shit with titles like "cars" or "cooking stream" or whatever

There's lots of things I dont like about youtube, but more legitimate competition for twitch and netflix can be nothing but good I think, since they both do lots of shit that pisses me off too

What annoys me the most as an autist, is the way they constantly re-encode videos whenever a new codec comes around.

It'd be fine if they were reencoding from original files, but since they don't keep them they have to reencode from already re-encoded data.

They've already done this 3 times so far (flv -> h264 -> vp9) and with AV-1 coming soon I can see them doing another reencode in a few years time.

This is the reason older YT vids are almost unwatchable these days, all because Google are too cheap to keep hold of original videos.

>Butchering years of videos to save space
Jesus Christ, didn't know it was that bad.

I want 2k10 style back

Yep, this. Google is retarded and because the kikes want to save money it all ends up looking like shit.

>even porn sites are miles ahead
Not really, Spankbang has a shit accuracy, Pornhub redirects you to top sponsors, while Xvideos is the one with the best accuracy, it even searches for synonims and context, it also looks like the only one where there's an actual development going on.

>youtube videos are unwatchable these days

The fart are you idiots talking about.

>porn sites
>search accuracy

Yeah, right.

Gaymen (Minecraft) and normies (lol reaction videos and pranks xD) killed Youtube.

but user, youtube was always normie tier.....


prove me wrong.

>even porn sites are miles ahead in (...) search accuracy

t. never used any porn video site search beyond 2 words

All the """YouTube drama""" last year

make that 1 word

It's beyond repair.

In 2008 it was less cancer because the Internet was so ''hard'' to use. I talk about the normies that joined via phones and tablets.

>let's players
>beauty sluts
>pranksters
>clickbait top 10s
>''tutorial'' channels
>dumb political channels
>pick up artists
>trollstation
>gaymen

It's finished.

you could just not watch those

It gets shoved in your face. ''Trending''.

>salad bar has buckets of shit next to the lettuce and condiments
>dirty jewish woman smears shit from one of these buckets onto your salad before you can get away from the bar
>oh just eat around it
kys

i don't pay attention to anything but search results, i don't have an account either

I liked how Vimeo has this feature to "replace video" on a given designated video URL, so even with the re-encoding, one could re-upload the video

>how about if you're not the original author but still wanna preserve older encoded videos
shit. you got me there

It will get shoved in your face either way

pretty shitty to do that im with you but do you know how much shit is uploaded these days?
they're at 500hours/minute atm
thats over 3 years in a single hour

Google in general fails at competing with other services. They failed at copying Facebook, they failed at copying Dropbox, and they failed at copying Microsoft Office. Gmail, YouTube, and Android are pretty much their only successful products (other than their search engine). And they didn't even originally make YouTube and Android.

I wonder how long YouTube Red will last. Seems like everyone who doesn't make videos hates it.

Korean and other Asian porn is plentiful, and not even age restricted

>Wtf r u gaye xdddd
If I want to watch porn, I'll go to a porn site

Search for "knife -glowing". Problem solved.

I hate how YT tries to shill those shit memes like the thousand degrees knife.

I only use Youtube to upload (shit) obscure 70's rock

rate

nope...search ''Elsa", ''Spiderman'' and ''Batman'' in one bar
your will react like pic related

I'm glad it's not Spiderman and Elsa bullshit.
But it needs riddim.

I miss YTP era Youtube. Now it's spiderman shitting on pewdiepie while licking nicki minaj's futa cock.

Tutorials are kinda okay if they aren't *cough* Huehuejajajaja *cough* and some retarded *cough* kiddos *cough*.

I had to block that channel several weeks ago to hide the video. Disliking it didn't remove it for me. Is it still being shilled?

YouTube isn't blocked at work, and they're afraid of feminist backlash, so they leave up Japanese lactation porn.

God bless YouTube.

Last midnight (GMT time), at least for me it seems, they changed the UI to something that was absolutely dogshit. It rolled back to the previous UI but holy fuck I was triggered. None of those icons on the bottom-right corner worked. The comments, the video description, the video title and recommended videos disappeared. Even the cinema mode didn't work. Just what the fuck are they doing?

>no screenshot

>>failed at copying Twtich

Its far better service than twitch unless you actually got paid by twitch to stream there.
You can't proved me wrong.

>Streaming with bandwith cap
>got banned for over bandwith cap
>shitty server cause buffer if you go higher than twitch bandwith cap.

>what is soundcloud
You're probably underageb& too

Just search "Japanese lactation."

Hour fucking retarded are you?

I should've took a screenshot, I figured somebody else would complain and post a screenshot online, but I can't find it. Once they do it again, I'll take a screenshot and post it here.

Sounds like Mandela effect.

Stop lying user. It looks shameful

I think there should be a separate board for discussing websites and internet culture because this really doesn't pertain to technology except in the sense that websites are technically technical.

Here's the issue with this kind of thread: websites are technically technology but we aren't even discussing the technological aspect about them, but we are instead talking about the theory and culture thereof. Don't you think this is a bit too nuanced for Sup Forums?

>But YouTube is perfect, they will never fuck up when changing the layout for the 100th time!

Yeah, ok, whatever helps you sleep at night.

does it physically hurt being this autistic?

That David Blaine Parody Part 1 is prime example of this

Use your subscriptions list as a bookmark, not the front page

yet so many of them are still stuck in flash

use a fucking channel banlist

xvideos uses flash and is a lot better than youtube that uses html5

Now I have this new thing where every YT video fades to black in the middle and then reloads the rest of it after that. It's like some weird unfinished ad break thing

>projectng
I'm not even the user you were taking to

Is this why stuff uploaded from many years ago, say Gnarls Barkley's Crazy, had deteriorating audio?
[ youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w ]

I kinda discovered that song months ago, but even then I knew something was off with the mixing (the cymbals sound like scraped over windows now).

YouTube search is terrible, don't be dense

>Visit Youtube on private browsing tab
>99% of the videos are eye-bleedingly stupid garbage

Is this what it's like to be a normie?

it's got videos of cute asmr chinese girls speaking mandarin seductively in my ears, it's fine with me

lies, youtube have always stored original files
that video has had shitty sound from the day it was upoaded

>what is soundcloud
too on point about protecting copyright
>You're probably underageb& too
You're definitely retarded

>>what is soundcloud
A mediocre site with an ever-worsening UI, a terrible mobile format, an inconvenient search engine, and a dated post limit.

What are you talking about user? YouTube is now better than ever!

The worst are ''''''''''social experiments'''''''''' and faggot '''''''''pocs'''''''''' spouting nonsense.

>videos just over 10 minutes

Link to the channel or a video from it?

Anyone have problems with some YouTube videos failing to load in the past few days? Most work but a select few... just don't.

The comment and sidebar elements load but never the HTLM5 player.

wasn't that a joke in Tropic Thunder?

>Hating on pewdiepie

What the fuck

He is shit.

>start making yt videos while NEET
>become passionate and excited to make content
>audience grows past the 500 sub mark
>one of the few things that makes me satisfied and happy
>suddenly land a full time job out of nowhere
>tired all the time
>mind is full of bullshit about what I have to do tomorrow
>don't even use my PC anymore much less edit videos because spend all day in front of a PC already
>subscribers fading away rapidly

I'm going to force myself to edit up a minute of content a day and try to upload ANYTHING at all. Youtube is a harsh mistress.
