Yep. This is the first legitimate "YouTube premium sucks" I've seen because it's not holding up their end of the transaction.
I haven't seen this happen to me yet and I use YouTube on my PC, my phone, and my TV via Alexa.

My guess is they are the kind of person who thinks free speech is the one and ultimate truth in life. Also free speech means "I can use slurs and bully people to suicide but if you call me a bigot then you don't appreciate free speech" without realizing the irony of not accepting the free speech of others.
Seen it so many times.
"I'd like to order the newest chip you got. The Beyond Plus Ultra Core Ultra 5+ Supreme Deluxe. No, I will not accept the Beyond Plus Ultra Core Ultra 5 Supreme Deluxe. That is last gen garbage from last week."
Google is already an awful search engine and was most useful only for reddit. Search Engine Optimization killed it.
For example, do you know why every recipe Google shows has a 35 page life story article before the recipe? Because it takes you longer to scroll through the page and find the recipe and see if that's what you want. So Google says oh, this website is good and entertaining and full of so many words! This goes higher up! They don't write the stories because the bloggers care. They write stories because it's the only way to get their website seen on Google.
Meanwhile the website you actually want... The one with a simple recipe and no fluff? Well that's not going to sell itself to the Search Engine Optimization. So it's much further down on the list, several pages down.
The same shitification is happening with every website. Every website is a little bit worse than it has to be simply to optimize it's position on the almighty Google.
When you look for the "top shoes for running" or "best phone of 2023", those are just rushed articles with no research done by people with the sole purpose of pumping out millions of articles just to get some spots on Google.
Google was only good for linking to reddit because reddit could never get their search engine working no matter how many times they tried it.
Exactly. Instead of being a reddit user and admins ban a bunch of subs that can no longer be accessed at all, you can still access those instances with another account.
Reddit can in the future ban NSFW content and there is nothing you can do to view those subreddits ever again.
Not the case here.
I did see @alyaza say that kbin hasn't been anywhere near as problematic. And you may be right about who chose to go where. It is interesting one causes more issues than the other.
I will say I have not really seen much issue inside of kbin, personally. The community I've seen so far has been pretty chill.
Funny and relevant with it breaking the federation on kbin right now. Nice job.
u/spez, you listening?!?
Clearly he hasn't for even a brief moment.
Is this how boost is intended or just part of the broken system while things get under control?
I know like on mastodon, boost is basically retooting. Would me boosting something show somewhere on my profile? I guess I can look at your profile after this and see if the boost shows up on yours lol.
It could arguably be worse.
