I left because it’s infested with advertising that offensively begins playing loudly the millisecond a video page loads. The site feels janky and the algorithm games the consumers. YouTube still is in the business of feeding drivel to toddlers and shadowbanning normal user accounts from comments. Like Windows, YouTube lost my trust long ago and no amount of blog posting about how good they are will ever fix that. Odysee and Rumble are better experiences, unlike YouTube the sites let you play content in the background on mobile. Mainstream YouTube, an advertising delivery platform with concerns for the user and creator base being deep last.
