On a comment that is saying that if people dont vote, trump might get elected, you are saying that they would rather vote for trump than not vote?

Edit: voting for a third-party, not not voting

Enshittification has 3 steps:

  1. Make a good platform for users
  2. Make the platform worse for users, but better for business customers
  3. Make the platform worse for users and business customers to maximize profits

Youtube is past the first step

In the comments for this post i have seen 3 explanations:

Boosting smaller youtubers, which would not make the platform worse for the users, meaning that it couldnt be part of the process

Boosting radical youtubers, which would make the platform worse for business customers, but not increase profits, meaning that it couldnt be part of the process

Making people click on videos more often, which goes against attempts to make people watch single videos for longer

This is just a terrible change, there is no overused word to describe it

How much time are people looking through the homepage instead of watching videos?

If youtubes goal was to make people only watch the begging of an episode, which has the most ads(i think, i havent seen an ad on youtube in a long time), why are they promoting videos that make people watch for longer?

Youtube also started recommending small channels more often a while ago

It would also make more sense to prefer people watching smaller creators compared to bigger ones because, as far as i know, youtube gets more money from channels that arent monetized yet(getting 100% instead of 55% i think)

According to the first video made by the youtuber dogpack404, he had been doing bad things from the begging

My father has worked in a different country than the one i live in for longer than i was alive.

I have seen people cry when talking about their divorced parents

Which parent is missing doesnt matter

Are you saying that my experience and the experience of people with a single parent are wrong?

But wouldnt that reply to the "this" comment and this subtopic discourage people from writing "this", making a subtopic like this rarer, but also reducing the total number of new useless comments?

I would argue that explaining why people dont like the usage of "this" is more useful than people writing "this"

Its not the only reason.

It may be the most common reason, but its not the only one
