YouTube "search results"

  It’s like it just gives up after about 8 results. “These 8 results don’t contain what you want? I give up. Here, just watch one of these videos instead.”

  Screw you, just show me the rest of the results, I swear it’s in the top 30 results.

    It wants you to use their fees. It wants to tell you what to watch like Instagram.

  A trick to get better results (I.e. without suggestions etc) is to add “before:2026” TP your search string. This filters out a lot of the garbage, and leaves you with search results alone. I somehow feel the need to do it most times now, if I’m searching for something very specific.

    Why 2026? Isn’t everything on YouTube made before 2026

      That’s the point. You get all the videos, but with a lot less crud.

  I remember for a minute YouTube search was better than Google search. Now they’re both horrible

    Censorship does retarded shit to things.

      It’s not censorship. It’s just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.

  I was trying to search for something inside a specific channel the other day. The results were so random that I wasn’t confident I was even seeing all of the videos that had the word I typed in. Doesn’t help that it’s full on chaos sort with no option of any other sorting method. Complete trash.

  Searching/surfing YouTube is like searching/surfing Imgur. It’s a site for content hosting so you can link from other places. You have to go to online communities to find links to good videos.

  There are good channels that are worth subscribing to, but going to YouTube directly is like trudging though a swamp.

  It’s not like they’re part of a company whose core product is search.

    Their core product is advertising.

    Honestly, I only use Freetube and still get about 3 relevant results, then a whole bunch of unrelated bs / seemingly random playlists and shorts. After that there are relevant results again.

    Still, these apps are great recommendations.
