this is getting absolutely ridiculous.
apparently they're even restricting videos about asexuality.
yknow, the one that literally can't be "inappropriate" by its very nature.
maybe this issue might finally trigger a decent exodus from youtube?

Yeah no I'm having the same problem, but oddly enough, only with one of my channels. My main one is just fine, but for some reason, when I'm using my Lets Play channel, it kinda goes all screw-y and I can only see one of two channel's videos. It's really odd and might be another case of Youtube's algorithm messing it up for everyone again.

It's rather frustrating...

rip Horikawa and small fry content creators. Welcome back shitty prank videos. I guess Patreon will now be the ONLY way to be a content creator now. It sucks that guys like KingK are gonna be penniless unless they make videos about popular shit instead of just making interesting videos.

It's 10,000 total lifetime views, not 10,000 views for each video.

Yeah it's not a big deal. At 10,000 total lifetime views, you don't even get money. That's like ten bucks. YouTube only pays out after you get 100 bucks.

Apparently it was by reports, so it was being flagged by bigots.

Which doesn't excuse YouTube, but it pushes them from evil back to incompetent at least.

So apparently YouTube is going to be getting a pretty big Material Design redesign soon, which includes a native dark mode! And you can force it early by following the instructions in this tweet. I'll post them here too:
1. Open console
2. Paste: document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE"
3. Reload
4. Click your avatar
5. Dark mode!
It seems to look a lot more like the Android/iOS app now. I guess that makes sense for making a more unified experience, but I'm hoping that doesn't mean they'll take away a bunch of features on desktop rather than adding them to mobile like they tend to do.

Cross-over with the wrestling thread. Google has decided ALL professional wrestling (so, this does include WWE, TNA, ROH, and all indies) is advertiser unfriendly and has demonetized all wresting content. I'm guessing UFC is still fine though, because those people are beating the shit out of each other for real.

Yet another instance of me needing to punch youtube right in the fucking face. I've been forced into the new layout, which breaks the Youtube+ addon as well as my Stylish dark theme. Supposedly, there's a built-in dark theme now, but I can't fucking access it. I can't access my profile, my account settings, or revert this utter garbage. I'm ready to head to Google HQ and start throwing people out windows.

You should be able to enable Dark mode via the the username dropdown in the top right.

Also, I've had it for a while now, and aside from removing the "recommended" page, I kinda prefer it.

Well my computer is old and tired and really doesn't like HTML5 for some reason. And YouTube seems to have removed the ability to use the flash player at will, so it looks like I'm stuck with 360p and no snake for the rest of my life.

Or is there still an opt-out which I've just missed or what is it
Thank goodness this thing exists!
Welp; now I have another reason to sometimes, but not always, use Firefox.

no GUI, but if you can play videos in a media player like VLC, you could try this too: https://streamlink.github.io/

You know what's weird?

I don't know when it happened, but at some point it seems like YouTube's recommendations have actually been... Good. Like it's actually been showing me videos I want to watch.

A lot of the recommended videos are new videos from channels I'm subscribed to, which is pretty nice

Maybe they're finally being tailored to our watching habits instead of just offering garbage channels? I know I see The Runaway Guys pop up in raocow's sidebar nowadays, and I watch both channels pretty frequently.

For me it seems to cycle between suggesting stuff I'd actually watch (usually lp videos or music videos already in my watch history) and complete garbage from channels I'd never even consider watching. There's like no in between either, only one extreme or the other. Coincidentally shortly before Ashan's post Youtube switched from decent recommendation to trash recommendations for me after having been recommending decent stuff for like three months.

I noticed just now that when you hover over the thumbnail of a video it plays a few seconds of a section of the video. That's really nice.

Replies to my YouTube comments stopped showing up in the Google Notifications pane (the one on my channel's Google+ page) again. They still show up in the Youtube Notifications pane, but I really don't like it because it's clunky and has less than half the functionality (can't dynamically load comment threads in-pane, and it doesn't show upvotes; it feels like something from the early 2000s, circa 2003-4, honestly). It's a bit better than it used to be (the YN pane can finally resolve Google+ page ID numbers to the page's name), but it's still so far behind the Google Notifications system that it shouldn't have been released for at least a year; it's also noticeably slower than the Google Notifications system (due to loading the video itself first, then loading the comment thread after that), which can be annoying when you have a lot of programs consuming resources or you're on a weaker system. [They've already fixed this once, a little while after switching the bell to the YN pane; even after fixing it, the Google Notifications system was still somewhat gimped (you can't reply to YouTube comment threads from it, and have to go to the video's page), but still much better than the YN system. Not sure if breaking GN a second time was intentional or accidental.]

Interestingly, upvotes on my YouTube comments still show up in my Google Notifications, it's just replies that aren't.

I posted about this like 3 months on the top of this page in the thread.
It was in beta at the time, but I recall it being rolled out to everyone like, a few weeks after that?

Regardless, I've been using it since then. I think it's pretty good. My biggest issue is you can't edit playlists from the new UI? Like, if I click a playlist from the sidebar on the left, there's no way to quickly add, delete, reorder, etc. There's just an edit button that kicks you back to the old UI. I guess they aren't finished a redesigned version of that yet?
