YouTube's cat-and-mouse game against third-party apps only ensures more people will dislike the company

    I remember back when YouTube had ads. Haven’t had that issue for years now though.

      On my browser, they blocked recommended videos. Lol. Now I use FreeTube. Anything like that happen to you?

        Were you logged in? The site doesn’t recommend videos for anyone not logged in anymore.

          They still do on my other browsers when you start watching videos.

          In my main browser, they took out the entire Explore section so I can’t even see what’s trending. Lol.

        No, I blocked it myself actually, using a plugin.

        FreeTube is the best.

        And this is the problem with YouTube. The UI is awful and they keep degrading the experience
