Also the manipulation is even more stunning if you use youtube without signing in. You seriously might as well be watching cable tv at that point

And don’t forget the censoring of comments sections......even if you manage to find what you what, you are not allowed to say what you want!

true, I think the censoring of comments got even worse recently, whenever I comment on youtube almost always that comment is removed after 5 minutes, regardless of what I say

Also the censoring of videos and entire channels. A great website which reports on censorship, and champions freedom of communication in the electronic era, is Reclaim the Net.

YouTube has lived long enough to become BoomerTube. The cool kids are on Bitchute, Odysee and elsewhere.

This is the main problem with youtube, their algorithmic manipulation is 100 times worse than their censorship, it makes the site, not just boring, but also frustrating to use

Another issue that I noticed with Youtube...

I have been using the Dissenter/Brave web browser for about five months and I was able to watch Youtube without ads and commercials. ( https://dissenter.com/ ) About three weeks ago, when I went to watch Youtube, all Youtube will play is commercial after commercial. There was no option to skip the ads. The video I selected would just never load.

My Chrome, Firefox and Opera web browsers still function normally.

Dissenter is owned by Gab. Coincidence?
