In a world of consoomers, product is the majority of search queries. These algorithms aren't magic, think of them as program compilers and make your queries as dumbed down as possible, i.e. "condor bird america". Without any specifics they will show you mostly what the technologically illiterate and retarded masses want to see.
I thought I was the only one seeing that bug. It's worse for me too - I have a strange bug where if I unfocus my browser window, all videos suddenly start playing at like, 5 frames a second. Doesn't matter if it's 144p or 4k60. Instantly goes away if I refocus my browser.
This is especially a pain if you're multilingual and you're trying to use YouTube. The website has been designed in such a way that assumes that the average user is too mentally retarded to understand any other language except their own native one.
I think that's what was actually happening where I'd look up a video for help with the computer and click on one where the entire thing is in Hindi despite the name appearing in English? Though it's hard to say because "Indian Technology help" videos and websites are infamous for their SEO far outweighing usefulness to any viewers.
I actually looked up on why that's the case in the past. Supposedly authors of a video can manually submit translated titles of their video in different languages to maximize "reach", but that of course doesn't mean that they're doing a good job with their translations and not just running their title through Google Translate, not to mention the rest of the video is still narrated in whatever language it was recorded in.
Adding “?gl=us” to the Google search params seems to help, too bad they removed NCR (no country redirect), that was useful.
For those that ask to select the traffic lights or signs, it's not even clear if you are supposed to select the parts that are just the pole.
In my experience, it's only the parts relevant to autonomous driving, i.e. traffic lights only.
Because bulk video processing and hosting is ruinously expensive.
Didn't YouTube originally start with limits of 10 minutes and 480p resolution? Why jump straight to compete with what they can do now instead of starting smaller?
I think it's because most of the people who want an alternative are streamers. I never understood why more people don't just go audio only because it honestly wouldn't make much difference to most of the streams in terms of content and requires relatively little bandwidth. I guess it doesn't bring in pay piggie bucks the same.
because then it's not a competitor. or in car analogy terms, you can't try to compete with a modern car and say "well, cars started with the fort T, so..."
gotta see the reaction face to know what to think!!!1
Because people are polarized and will only move towards what they are drawn to or have been pushed away from. Think about the most popular alt-sites for web-hosting in recent years, BitChute, Odysee and now Rumble. It's a slow slog to get people to change platforms, even more so for pulling a large dedicated audience. If you want to see these places be less controlled opposition and more neutral, then start uploading videos that you think would make the platform more balanced. Better yet, start sharing those videos with your friends by sending links to the platform. The thing that made YouTube great originally was regular people posting fun and entertaining videos.
