As a user, for me, YouTube has been shrinking ever since the first adpocalypse. By that I mean I rarely see new videos or relevant recommendations. It is all stale content and pages only couple of pages instead of going infinite like it used to. My most visited page is home page which shows recommended content(it used to be on a dedicated page) and I literally see the same content for days, rarely with new videos. And I have hundreds of subscribed channels. Youtube is a living corpse, I do not care what numbers they put out in the public.
