• there is no way to search a channel’s videos on the mobile app

It is baffling to me that they just… never implemented this? Like why???

I’ll add that everything about playlists is really dumb, which is a shame because they could be good. Why not treat playlists the way streaming services treat tv shows? Remember which episode I was on, and make it easy to find on the homepage with a “continue watching” option.

Also, the “watch later” playlist is a good idea but why don’t the videos automatically remove themselves after I’ve watched them? Why doesn’t the watch later playlist appear at the top of the suggested videos or something? Instead it’s hidden in a jumbled mess of playlists that I have to manually find. OH AND ALSO WHY ARE MY CUSTOM PLAYLISTS INTERMIXED WITH OTHER PLAYLISTS I’VE SAVED.

And the progress bar gradient is so ugly jfc. It’s one of those things that screams bored middle management decision making. And from a branding perspective, when has YouTube ever been off-pink? I know it’s minor but genuinely how did that slip through the cracks.

It’s a shame the people that need this the most can’t read

Sheng Wang is hilarious, I think his humor would align well with a lot of people here. He has a special on Netflix worth checking out

Who didn’t see this coming from a thousand miles away when they announced they were going public? Here comes the endless churn of trying to keep shareholders artificially interested

Can someone explain how this is even possible with a service like Signal? I was under the impression that encrypted messages can’t be intercepted.

Extremely frustrating either way, I hate constantly having to manage different messaging services with different people and I’d really like to not have to add one more if signal becomes compromised.

How sure are you about that? Microsoft very dependably releases updates on the second Tuesday of the month, and their release notes show if updates are pushed out of schedule. Their last update was on schedule, July 9th.

I mean I know it’s easy to be critical but this was my exact thought, how the hell didn’t they catch this in testing?

The thing is, modders are Bethesda’s most die-hard fans, and Bethesda games have some of the largest modding communities in the world. Many of these modding projects have taken an extraordinary amount of effort from an extraordinary amount of people. For them to not communicate and work with the community at all is a big slap in the face because modders have given people a reason to continue purchasing their games and keeping their business relevant.

Is Bethesda obligated to work with modders to try and help with backwards compatibility? Not legally, no. But their lack of effort is rightfully leaving a sour taste in many people’s mouths.

To your last point, I’m sure you didn’t mean it intentionally but that is a straw man argument; nobody is claiming that every single mod needs to be compatible with Bethesda’s updates. However, if Bethesda at the very least communicated and worked with the community even a little bit, they could make the task of updating mods substantially easier. Instead, they chose not to, and now countless of hours of work will be wasted because so many people will not find it worthwhile to update their mods to be compatible with the new version. It’s extremely unfortunate.

Right? I cannot believe how consistently toxic ig comments are, even on the most unsuspecting videos. I’m surprised this isn’t talked about more often. The constant sexism is just jading. Negative comments skyrocket to the top of the comment section because they get the most replies, and there is no down voting functionality. But I think it’s gotten slightly better recently? I wonder if the limiting of political content has anything to do with it. Maybe ig is actually trying to improve their platform.
