Whats old is new again.
I hope this happens to YouTube in the US.
I'm so sick and tired of the "algorithm", always suggesting the same old videos that are just barely entertaining enough to keep me watching. Let's just go back to the old days where the front page consisted of popular videos and content from people you're subscribed to. Create a separate, independent "discover" section for people who like algorithms, but don't make it the main focus.
I’m so confused

Are you complaining that YouTube is bad while still continuing to watch bad videos? Because if they’re good enough to keep you watching, then they must be pretty good.
Otherwise you could just stop watching algorithmic-suggested YouTube videos?
I think the problem is that the algorithm's optimisation target is not to entertain people, but to keep them watching, which can cause you to feel bad and still click videos. In the same way other addictions work.
Exactly. You get it.
It's designed to be like a drug: amazing the first time, and maybe the next few times, but eventually it's not so fun anymore yet somehow you're now dependent on it to feel anything but miserable.
No you don't understand. Like the other person said, it's like a drug: amazing the first time, and maybe the next few times, but eventually it's not so fun anymore yet now you're dependent on it.
Now big tech gonna put more subscription stuffs
