You can tell trending is garbage by the fact that it only has about 2 videos that you actually think would be interesting. The community of TH-cam is usually split into 3 chategories: comedy/vlogging, DIY, and gaming. You should be able to find around 10 videos you enjoy on trending, just because that’s how most users consume content, but since it is a huge advertisement you see none.
It's obvious TH-cam is trying to distance itself from smaller channels, and instead promote the big fish that can attract more views, ads and sponsorships. The ship has long gone for common folk like us, we were only relevant when this site was still growing.
This is sad but so true. I am worried for smaller creators I prefer over big names. Sigh. I dunno what to do now. I am glad some have gone to Twitch but not all of them are gamers. :/
Chronological order is the only way i ever liked social media feeds. And it's why I left Facebook years ago, and why I just stopped using instagram. I don't like some automated bot telling me what I'm interested in. Not only because it's hardly ever right, but because it feels big brother-ish. LET ME DECIDE THAT SHIT FOR MYSELF!
I'm sooooo tired of seeing $2 Fries vs $200 Fries thumbnails. I NEVER watch those videos TH-cam! STAAAHHHP! I also never watch late night shows on TH-cam but every day I see rows of Colbert, Kimmel, Conan, Fallon, and Meyers. WHY!?!
Flick Connection I'm getting flashbacks of all the retarded "oddly satisfying" videos like the "hot knife through soap" video. And the only way I watched that was when H3 did a video on it.
Same here cause I haven’t seen any of their videos for a long while. I’m subscribed but I can’t even enable Notifications for H3H3 or YongYea because it says a error occurred.
Yeah... been getting alot of "recommendations" that I usally don't even bother with. Then I say "Don't show me this shit again" and guess what I get after? The same damn shit I told them not to show me.
Everyone should just start using Vimeo or something. I was already planning on doing that and just using TH-cam to gain a few followers with previews and stuff
The most horrific new “feature” they’re testing is remaking our thumbnails. Sometimes random stock images and screencaps will show up as our video thumbnails in the Recommended feed instead of what we selected. Seriously.
*TURNS OUT THE DEAD BODY WAS FAKE, POLICE SAID IT WAS A STAGED SUICIDE, NOT REAL* Looks like after all this drama the suicide in Logans vlogs was *FAKE* . The police confirmed this a few days ago. I linked to their statements in a public youtube playlist for those that asked. honestly can't believe this
How ironic how this video has been out for so long and I just now seen this video because I wasn't notified and was popping up in my related videos to watch
I love the sub feed for being chronological. If I want to see what TH-cam recommends to me, I'll go to the home tab. TH-cam doesn't care about content creators or TH-camrs. They care about getting views from external sources, like Google search results and viral Twitter and Facebook links.
Sadly, TH-cam had to do it to 'em. They are desperately trying to cash in as fast as possible since it has been unprofitable for years. Google gave them a time to become profitable and since they still really aren't, they have to pull this bullshit. RIP maybe amazon will make a competitor.
Huh. Since the content became shit on youtube the only place i ever visited was my sub feed, i guess im even lucky to find this video right here to even know about the news. They dont even notify you. Its like living in a dictatorship. You dont even get to know the news
Brother!!! The problem is that youtube is determined to slowly shift people to their own originals and their favourite creators, we have no place on the new youtube's business plan of becoming the next TV, hopefully they become as irrelevant as TV is this days... They where saying it is only a test but THIS IS NOT A TEST, they are lying as many you tubers including myself in the past week seen the views go down and people complaining more and more about them not knowing we stopped uploading videos, WHAT, I upload every day!!!
This is especially problematic for the niche channels. What if you have an audience that really only wants to watch a certain kind of content? TH-cam be like: *T O O B A D*
If you have an audience that really only wants to watch a certain kind of content, and you are that content, wouldn't they see more of your content? Instead of it being buried under garbage that uploads every day?
I don't think so. In that case, regardless if THEY want to watch your content, if ANOTHER channel has more watchtime than yours it will get on top of your subfeed, and not your channel, even if that 'more popular' channel is only set up to give you occasional feed.
I don't even use subscriptions anymore honestly, recommended videos are way better. I get recommended videos that have tiny amounts of views, and I rarely get recommended things I don't end up liking.
absolutely, and if I go through the trouble to click the dumb bell too- you better show me those videos as soon as they're released!! now we're gonna see "notification squad!!" in the comments a week late...
djwaters22 I've actually gone to the point of making feeds on my browser that checks youtube channels directly because I don't even trust youtube to show me the content I want to see
I have a lot of subs and I don't watch each video. I think youtube misses that you can sub person for certain series or for waiting specific video on those series, not the personality.
Remember the days when being subscribed to a person on youtube meant you want to see whatever they upload as soon as possible, and that's it? Seems like such a long time ago.
in german there is a word: verschlimmbessern. it means you actually want to optimize a product/service, but due to your efforts you actually make said product/service worse. seems like this is happening with youtube.
Daporan why do some of your vids have 50 views, and all others 300+? There's something going on. Find out what. Could be tags, title, content, etc. Or a bug, no notifications or sub feed coverage
Me neither, I'm subbed and I smashed the bell. I think everyone is just waiting for a different form of TH-cam at this point, there isn't much hope left.
cEverything well no shit, but if they can show different videos it will probably fill it with stuff TH-cam wants is to see. Like toy reviews, news, fortnite etc.
At least we can still go to the search bar and manually find the exact videos and channels we want to watch. *A FEW MONTHS LATER* "We're implementing a search result algorithm so you get what we think you'd like to watch." _- TH-cam_
They can already put the videos they want us to watch at the top of the search results list, and the videos they don't want us to watch at the bottom. The end is nigh
JesseRoxII At least we can still use direct links Later... Now when you paste any link to youtube, it will take you straight to the trending tab - TH-cam
All this censorship needs to STOP. And no, bell smashing isn’t enough. If it wasn’t for me seeing a clip of your Alex Jones Livestream being shutdown by TH-cam, I wouldn’t have looked for your channel and discovered that my notifications for your content was turned ‘off’.
TH-cam really, *really* needs a competitor right now. Seriously, that's the reason that some of its users (especially the TH-camrs left like Filthy Frank), it's been going like crap for years now. Since 2013, when they changed the layout it is the beginning of an end of this site. Why, it's because the comment section nowadays becomes a cesspool of hateful and cringy comments. When they put out the first nail, is the severely flawed Content ID system that ruined the subs of all youtubers and shoving us Google+ all over our faces. It's now 2018, from the new update after the Logan Paul incident. When you need 1000 subs & 4000 hours of watchtime. Choking all of the smaller channels out of the window, that they have so much potential in the site. Also, most youtubers i've watched last their membership because of that. I really hope someone out there that it can put an end of once respected and our entertainment site called TH-cam to hell.
The collapse of TH-cam and the rise of a competitor in the ashes will truly be a glorious moment. Can’t wait to finally see an alternative to this soulless mind-control wasteland. Sad, really. Many people (myself included) really kind of grew up with TH-cam. It’s been sort of a cultural touchstone, or at least the host for many. Now it’s just a faintly pulsating lump of ad revenue and politically motivated algorithm bullshit. Good riddance.
Taylor The problem is that the Same people who wants another competing company to run TH-cam into the ground are the same people who don’t want to give the companies a single chance. How many people you think would give dailymotion, Vimeo, 9gag, etc. a chance?
Taylor I don't want to see TH-cam fall, as this is really my only source of daily escapism, but a competitor will definitely force TH-cam and Google to think about their decisions and make changes that the audience wants, not just what sponsors want.
For the love of god PLEASE ETHAN. Get pewds and other TH-cam titan friends together and start a new video uploading site for the ppl and by the ppl. You guys have the resources. TH-cam needs competition. Save us all!
Imagine if you subscribed to like ten magazines, but only a few of them actually showed up every month because they didn't think the others were 'relevant' to you. And they kept bombarding you with promos for magazines they think are 'relevant' to you but which really just make them the most money in ad revenue.
My recommendation feed is garbage. I've watched hundreds of Rooster teeth videos, I've subbed and turned on notifications, and frequently like their videos. Not ONCE have I recieved a notification for their content. And I rarely see them in my recommendations. What never fails to show up is fortnite and buzzfeed. I've clicked not interested in tons of buzzfeed videos, but apparently that's what I need to see. I watch one fortnite video and now they flood my inbox.
Same thing for me after binge watching my favorite TH-camrs, and after that I've got a ton of unrelated recommendations even to the one I didn't even subscribe to, *I'm looking at you BuzzFeed* .
Dude I feel this all the time. Except I get Consult a nurse ads, and Anti-Vape ads. I’m sick of hearing “To show you how scary vaping is, we made a metal monster!”
I’m a full time TH-cam streamer and this change has just about killed my channel. I used to get an average of 2K-5K viewers for the duration of my streams but that number dropped down to less than 300 overnight due to this change. I’m honestly so sad I could cry. I spent years building a channel and TH-cam just kills it without a second thought... sorry, I needed to vent.
It was once foretold that in order to see notifications from your favourite TH-camrs you had to literally smash your hand through your monitor to get that "all notifications" reward. Songs shall be sung of our great sacrifice...
This is why I use feedly and have been for years. It shows me every single video from all of my subscriptions, in chronological order, sorted into categories, and I can dismiss the videos I don't want to watch. Which is exactly how the youtube sub feed should be.
fцику мцику *advertisers man, marketing just doing their job. It's the ad pushers. Guys with all your collective TH-cam celeb money you'd think you would made a YT competitor/alternative already. That is unless there's something they're not telling us...
You can't turn off Autoplay and there's no homepage. You just load up TH-cam and there's a set schedule of videos for everyone to watch. Sounds familiar.
We’re already gone dude no way animators can keep up with youtubes current watchtime state it’s only a hobby thing to make TH-cam videos now for 99% of animators
They automatically set it to some notifications so it's there in case you want to turn their annoying presets off. I went through and did it the other day and it took forever. It's just another way for them to promote content at your cost.
Scott W when you subscribe to a channel it automatically puts you on "occasional" alerts. As someone who doesn't want any notifications from TH-cam, I enjoy being able to turn it off.
Recently, I have been unable to see your content in my feed. I just decided to check in on the channel today. This video is the first I see that I haven't watched, in addition to a few other new videos from you. Why didn't these ever show up in my feed?! Leave me and my subs alone, TH-cam!
I wish someone could make a viable competitor to TH-cam at this point. TH-cam has been shunning their content creators for years now and it's really starting to show. They don't value creators, so creators should leave.
Vimeo is better and would be more popular if it was free Vid.me was a lot more of a work in progress and it wasn't popular, support wasn't enough and it eventually disappeared other ones are just bad or not as good. Only way I think someone can compete against youtube is if they are already getting money from a company or if they try what discord did
If we could go back in time and create a website at the same time as TH-cam did, maybe. But the only way we can ever migrate to another website is if every single creator did it at once, which will never happen.
+K Canada “Trending”. It’s clearly a promotional page. When “This Is America” by Childish Gambino was clocking in 14.4 Million views a day, the analysis videos of it and makeup videos were in the top 5 trending. Everything is monitored, everything is controlled; and carefully selected so that they make sure you only see what they want you to see.
THAT IS SO TRUE! I haven't seen videos from a TON of people for a long ass time because TH-cam just isn't showing me videos from them. I have to seek them out IF I even remember that I'm subbed to them.
I just got a notification for this video. It's been 6 hours since it was uploaded. And I rewatch h3h3 and ethan and hila vids constantly so it should be clear that I want to see their content.
Rach H yes there are channels I'm subscribed to but don't watch a lot but sometimes they posts something I do want to watch, with the new system I wouldn't get the chance to watch the videos I want to
I don't think I've ever looked at the sub feed in the entire time I've watched TH-cam. When I do, it's for like a second & I leave it alone cause I couldn't even figure out what was going on with it before. I've always just gone to a channel & added videos I haven't watched to my Watch Later playlist. It's a bit more effort but I can be guaranteed I'll be watching what I want, in chronological order & still keeping up. Like this video.
for what it's worth, I'm subbed with the bell and regularly binge h3h3, and didn't see this video until I looked at the subreddit 12 hours later. Thanks, youtube.
I think it’s pretty simple. TH-cam had been able to grow because younger generations like to be able to decide what they see and when they see it. Not like a traditional broadcaster who determines for us what we need to see. Looks like TH-cam is going back in time with this...
Just go to trending. It's the sewage dump of yesterday's late night TV shows. The networks are losing money on broadcast TV, too many cutting the cord, so they dumb their shit here. They get to source deals for commercials that others can't.
I hear you. It's not for everyone and some of them ARE creepy. I feel we've pigeonholed ourselves, but its what the kid likes. Thanks for not being a jerk about it. Seriously.
*H3H3 CAN FINALLY END LOGAN PAUL! THIS LATEST NEWS IS THE END OF LOGAN!* Police in Japan have just said the suicide was "a staged prank"! The dead body wasn't real and Logan faked the whole thing! Tell Ethan so he can take down Logan for good off TH-cam! (and yes I put my sources into a youtube playlist for those that asked for proof, i put the police statements in there too!) Tell Ethan plz!
813Productions dude it’s so weird how many companies, studios, developers, and publishers are just directly shitting down their own fans throats right now.
Sadly this is my same view too. Do this test: logout, delete all your cookies and navigation history so youtube has no datas about your preferences, then go on the youtube main page and tell me what you see. Do you see any independent creator being suggested on there? I can't. Literally all i see is 100% CBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, fox news, buzzfeed, etc. This pretty much sums up where they want youtube to be in the future.
I’m beyond frustrated. I *RARELY* get notifications from the channels I’m subbed to. (Yes, clicked the notification Bell as well) *BUT* - TH-cam still finds the time to recommend IRRELEVANT videos to channels I *never* watch or ever intend to watch. I used to love TH-cam back in 2015-2016 when I actually got to watch *THE CREATORS I HAVE MANUALLY SUBBED TO*
RSS feed reader is your solution. All you have to do is to simply export your sub list from subscription manager and RSS becomes heaven. Then later either manually add new channels to the existing list, which is easy to do since it is just a single line with RSS feed URL that you need to just copy and paste or you could just re-download your sub list again and simply refresh. Not a single video will be missed. In fact, you will see videos that are uploaded and hidden right away if the creator isn't fast enough or fucks up. It is flawless solution really.
The sub feed was the only thing I could rely on
trending is trash and now THEY WANNA TAKE THE ONLY GOOD THING AWAY
Preach it queen
shgurr Funny seeing you here
Yeah, but I totally agree with you
The only good thing *left
You can tell trending is garbage by the fact that it only has about 2 videos that you actually think would be interesting. The community of TH-cam is usually split into 3 chategories: comedy/vlogging, DIY, and gaming. You should be able to find around 10 videos you enjoy on trending, just because that’s how most users consume content, but since it is a huge advertisement you see none.
Yup it’s gonna be way harder to watch Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder
"If it's not broken, break it." - TH-cam

cause youtube chooses what goes on trending

youtube algorithms. Logan Paul is busy killing dogs.
TH-cam needs a competitor 😩 they are getting ridiculous.. it’s becoming mainstream tv at this point
KoreanLovesBeauty actually youtube needs to be broken up monpolys are Illegal and need to be broken up
Google owns TH-cam. Google has many competitors
KoreanLovesBeauty they have competitors ...
Bitchute.com minds.com ect ECT!
Any real competitors that have started up over the years have been bought and then destroyed by google.
Too bad no one wants corporations held accountable through regulatory consumer protections, not in America at least.
I’m so glad you made this video. Thank you.
Glam&Gore hii ilysm
Hi lovely 💕💕💕
trust mikey to know whats good heck yes
Sadly this video was not notified to me. But thank god I always check your channel for new content every day. Btw nice vid
First Battlefield V and now this :( My channel is screwed.
It's obvious TH-cam is trying to distance itself from smaller channels, and instead promote the big fish that can attract more views, ads and sponsorships. The ship has long gone for common folk like us, we were only relevant when this site was still growing.
Kinoksis More like ThemTube
This is sad but so true. I am worried for smaller creators I prefer over big names. Sigh. I dunno what to do now. I am glad some have gone to Twitch but not all of them are gamers. :/
What if we block those crappy channels,but sure TH-cam will unblock them,sob.
Kinoksis j
Kinoksis well said

That's so true. I've never watched a single one of those videos yet TH-cam is relentless on recommending them to me
Flick Connection one word: money. They pay to advertise, so we get shown it. Its fucking ludicrous
kimmel is hilarious though, but this is overall true. Which sucks like wtf man I hate buzzfeed videos
Someone called me flat chested today and now a video related to it showed up?????? Its happened before and its scaring me.
Flick Connection I'm getting flashbacks of all the retarded "oddly satisfying" videos like the "hot knife through soap" video. And the only way I watched that was when H3 did a video on it.
He is correct. I wish YT would stop "Improving" things that don't need to be fixed. Just making it worse for everyone but themselves.....
MrYorkieLover Fitness Entertainment Why don't they fix their garbage app before they "optimize" shit that doesn't need to be "optimized"
MrYorkieLover Fitness Entertainment VIETNAM STOCK MARKET JUST CRASHED AND BLOOMBERG IS SAYING ITS A GOOD BUYING OPPORTUNITY
No, it's everyone they're ruining it for
MrYorkieLover Fitness Entertainment like how Snapchat keeping “improving”
It's progress, they're progressives.
How is it possible TH-cam doesn’t know that people hated this on instagram, and they will hate it here
Liam Owen it totally destroyed Snapchat too
Did they get rid of it on Instagram from the amount of backlash it got?
SHARKMAN 992 no the feed on Instagram still isn't in chronological order
SHARKMAN 992 I’m pretty sure my feed is still random on instagram so I’d say they didn’t fix shit lol
They don't litsen to the consumers
TH-cam; broadcast yourself... and maybe we’ll let people see it
Roshid6 But only if you’re an already established multi million dollar corporation

hey its bibin himself!
I know I swear when I see some of those ungodly cross sections
I'm surprised this showed up in my subscriptions feed
yep
It even appeared on my homepage! What a miracle of god himself!
Probably because it mentioned TH-cam.
Start prefixing / suffixing your videos dudes! Break the algorithm! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Same here cause I haven’t seen any of their videos for a long while. I’m subscribed but I can’t even enable Notifications for H3H3 or YongYea because it says a error occurred.
Papa Bless
PAPA FRANKU KNEW IT ALL ALONG THAT'S WHY HE STOPPED MAKING VIDEOS WE ARE ALL DOOMED
Make sense.
His comment made perfect sense, my dude.
Why don't they just go ahead and change it from 'subscribed' to 'preferred suggestion'? This is totally ridiculous TH-cam.
Golden Kakashka you want a cookie?
H3H3 did a pretty good job explaining it
Hey can I use your comment for my video?
Hey can I use your comment for my video?
Sirpalmtree bruh delete this before they see it.......
I thought "$1 vs $100 videos" was a virus on my phone. Good to know.
A $100 phone wouldnt be having that problem
Yeah... been getting alot of "recommendations" that I usally don't even bother with. Then I say "Don't show me this shit again" and guess what I get after? The same damn shit I told them not to show me.
I think my wife may have watched one...she has become a host to the virus. I burnt the compromised computer.
Touché. However do they have video comparing phones- that would be useful to my situation. Think they might only compare subjective food products.
We need a new website.. this is ridiculous.
Courtney's Grotto nelkboys got u covered
Everyone should just start using Vimeo or something. I was already planning on doing that and just using TH-cam to gain a few followers with previews and stuff
For real!!
use vid.me fam
Courtney's Grotto yea if TH-cam gets some real competition they will stop shitting all over the consumers with these crappy updates
They should answer why I'm getting notifications from channels I didn't subscribe to
that face 😂
Actually TH-cam wants the sub button to become a loot box instead.
So topical and hilarious. Truly.
How else are we suppoed to achieve a sense of pride and accomplishment?
SHUT IT DOWN "rubs hands together"
The Technoclast haha bruh yes
Lol
At this rate I feel like in 2 years or less TH-cam will basically just be a paid online version of Cable TV.
Grumpy Mustard this is a nonsense statement
Grumpy Mustard YUP
Kyler Sommer uh, no. He's correct
*+Grumpy Mustard* Facebook is still "free". Though, you still pay with person information
Grumpy Mustard shh don't give them ideas.
The most horrific new “feature” they’re testing is remaking our thumbnails. Sometimes random stock images and screencaps will show up as our video thumbnails in the Recommended feed instead of what we selected. Seriously.
Nerd City they want all the control
Nerd City Is that what happened with Filthy Frank?
Nerd City heyyy,nerd city's here.
Nerd City wtf
Mel Mancheno he is on tour
TH-cam and EA are pretty much the same
Yeaaah eeeeh... no
k pasa Yeaaah eeeeh... yes
Tyler Must pay 100$ to click the bell
Sydney Nelson y tho
At least TH-cam doesn’t try to sell you loot boxes to get items for Videos and channels.
Do not ask for whom the bell tolls; it doesn't toll for thee.

True!!
Mr. Klein I dont feel so good... *sub feed disintegrates*

Brother!!! The problem is that youtube is determined to slowly shift people to their own originals and their favourite creators, we have no place on the new youtube's business plan of becoming the next TV, hopefully they become as irrelevant as TV is this days...
They where saying it is only a test but THIS IS NOT A TEST, they are lying as many you tubers including myself in the past week seen the views go down and people complaining more and more about them not knowing we stopped uploading videos, WHAT, I upload every day!!!
This is to great. You literally make daily vape videos.
VAPE NASHH Y'ALL
I do indeed ;-)
TH-cam : we just want to show people what we think they wanna see
People: how about just showing us what we told you we wanna see
Me: subscribes, Likes, Rings bell, Comments
TH-cam: I guess you don't want to watch it!
TH-cam reply: But my political agenda and commercials!
But then who’s gonna liberalize the youth of today if TH-cam isn’t shoving buzzfeed down our throats?
Save it for the home page Jesus. Leave the sub alone for people who actually benefit from it and actually have a following.
DJ Baker This will be the actual dead of "edgy" channels like H3 and IDubzzz. But also for non childish channels like Pewdiepie.
RIP
Less childish*
Why are to complaining about it to Jusus? He ain't gonna fix your problem! 😂
This is especially problematic for the niche channels. What if you have an audience that really only wants to watch a certain kind of content?
TH-cam be like: *T O O B A D*
If you have an audience that really only wants to watch a certain kind of content, and you are that content, wouldn't they see more of your content?
Instead of it being buried under garbage that uploads every day?
Ashley Smith Yeah, that’s what I thought as well :/
Jacob Martin I think H3H3 may be resorting to sensationalism, or is inadvertently causing it in a blind fury at the gall of youtube
I don't think so. In that case, regardless if THEY want to watch your content, if ANOTHER channel has more watchtime than yours it will get on top of your subfeed, and not your channel, even if that 'more popular' channel is only set up to give you occasional feed.
I don't even use subscriptions anymore honestly, recommended videos are way better. I get recommended videos that have tiny amounts of views, and I rarely get recommended things I don't end up liking.
I subbed to people because I wanted to see their content. TH-cam has lost it
absolutely, and if I go through the trouble to click the dumb bell too- you better show me those videos as soon as they're released!! now we're gonna see "notification squad!!" in the comments a week late...
djwaters22 So true smh
"You don't want to see all this content, let me chose for you" - youtube
djwaters22 I've actually gone to the point of making feeds on my browser that checks youtube channels directly because I don't even trust youtube to show me the content I want to see
I have a lot of subs and I don't watch each video. I think youtube misses that you can sub person for certain series or for waiting specific video on those series, not the personality.
Remember the days when being subscribed to a person on youtube meant you want to see whatever they upload as soon as possible, and that's it?
Seems like such a long time ago.
Nohorse God, it’s so fucking simple too. Like, ughhhjjbjjhhjhhhjhjhhj
Yea seriously! Why would I subscribe to a channel just to watch "some" of their content..their tweet made absolutely no sense
I used to be in charge of what videos I've seen. I could choose from subscriptions by myself.
I guess they want to implement pay to subscribe features later on.
Hell yeah I remember when subscriptions was default view lol. My channel is screwed.
I got recommended a Lele Pons video the other day...I'm highly offended TH-cam.
in german there is a word: verschlimmbessern.
it means you actually want to optimize a product/service, but due to your efforts you actually make said product/service worse.
seems like this is happening with youtube.

I've subscribed to so many great channels that I've forgot about because I don't see their notifications and they aren't in my sub feed
Michael&Jello me too i Haven't watched the vids in months
Darn it, I just started making videos again and now I hear it'll all be a waste of time :(
Daporan no one said it will be a waste. if this is something you love, do it!!
Daporan why do some of your vids have 50 views, and all others 300+?
There's something going on.
Find out what. Could be tags, title, content, etc. Or a bug, no notifications or sub feed coverage
My older videos have more views because they have been up for a long time. I have recently started again. But thanks for noticing!
I’m already pissed I didn’t get this notification
me neither and i have the bell active ...
Private Michael J. Caboose me too
Private Michael J. Caboose me too
Me neither, I'm subbed and I smashed the bell. I think everyone is just waiting for a different form of TH-cam at this point, there isn't much hope left.
same
I like that grateful dead shirt.
Un Mestizo Blanco mmmmm i dont
It's the whole reason I subscribed
A Juice Box that’s what I was going to comment haha
Prayers for the sub-feed. Papa Bless
Casey Sloan VIETNAM STOCK MARKET JUST CRASHED AND BLOOMBERG IS SAYING ITS A GOOD BUYING OPPORTUNITY
Sub feed is now Buzzfeed
"personalised" just means "advertise to you"
cEverything well no shit, but if they can show different videos it will probably fill it with stuff TH-cam wants is to see. Like toy reviews, news, fortnite etc.
Personally advertised
and "Trending" actually means "Selectively Featured."
cEverything its not TH-cam no more, its OurTube! #Communism
CorporateTube
Facebook sucks, and then they bought Instagram and that is starting to suck. TH-cam needs to listen to what made it so popular...the creators
Um... What do Facebook and Instagram have to do with what you said?
steveo1kinevo VIETNAM STOCK MARKET JUST CRASHED AND BLOOMBERG IS SAYING ITS A GOOD BUYING OPPORTUNITY
Hamad Alsayed it’s owned by facebook
Well when you essentially have a monopoly on video streaming/sharing you don't need to listen to people.
dude I love your videos def helped me pass my CPL!
This popping up again when I feel like I can never find something worth watching on the homepage anymore.. It’s a bummer man
At least we can still go to the search bar and manually find the exact videos and channels we want to watch.
*A FEW MONTHS LATER*
"We're implementing a search result algorithm so you get what we think you'd like to watch." _- TH-cam_
prophet
They can already put the videos they want us to watch at the top of the search results list, and the videos they don't want us to watch at the bottom. The end is nigh
JesseRoxII At least we can still use direct links
Later...
Now when you paste any link to youtube, it will take you straight to the trending tab - TH-cam
Please don't give them any ideas.
You’re aware that they already implemented that years ago, right?
This decision is extremely harmful to the creative market as a whole. This is great for advertisers on TH-cam though!
LuxuryPranks your channel is the manifestation of cancer
Yeah... I still love and care about this site, regardless.
His content doesn't matter what he said was right
It won't hurt YT that much. Kids don't care about this kind of problems. And who makes the biggest audience on youtube? It's kids Carl.
LuxuryPranks
Just hit "all", hit "manage", then switch to new activity for the sorting in the sub feed.
You're welcome
Pornhub would make a smart move if they ever would decide to create 'The Hub'.
They have the servers for it at least.
remixman86 GENIUS! WE NEED TO TELL THIS IDEA TO PORN HUB NOW! once I get done masturbating of course...
remixman86 I liked the idea
That would be fantastic
thats actually a pretty good idea, a site where kids with their fortnite and prank videos cant enter. A true dream..
Chinchila Do Sul I didn't think in this way, it's even better now!
All this censorship needs to STOP. And no, bell smashing isn’t enough. If it wasn’t for me seeing a clip of your Alex Jones Livestream being shutdown by TH-cam, I wouldn’t have looked for your channel and discovered that my notifications for your content was turned ‘off’.
When youtube dies I'm moving to cool math.
Yo who got that $6 a month for coolmath?!
I’m moving to pornhub
Matter of fact, I'm moving to plazma burst 2.
We have a "Home" page already, why would anyone need this ever
555 likes and no comments so here's one for ya.
TheDarKnight 57 Let's make it two. You're welcome.
Love how this isn’t on trending but it has more views within 10 hours then half of the shit on the trending page.
Josh Mascarens Your getting worked up on Ethans emotions, its blinding you from the benefits yt is making for you.
dude you still don't know that the videos on the trending page are put there manually?
TH-cam really, *really* needs a competitor right now.
Seriously, that's the reason that some of its users (especially the TH-camrs left like Filthy Frank), it's been going like crap for years now. Since 2013, when they changed the layout it is the beginning of an end of this site. Why, it's because the comment section nowadays becomes a cesspool of hateful and cringy comments. When they put out the first nail, is the severely flawed Content ID system that ruined the subs of all youtubers and shoving us Google+ all over our faces.
It's now 2018, from the new update after the Logan Paul incident. When you need 1000 subs & 4000 hours of watchtime. Choking all of the smaller channels out of the window, that they have so much potential in the site. Also, most youtubers i've watched last their membership because of that. I really hope someone out there that it can put an end of once respected and our entertainment site called TH-cam to hell.
Rosalina Guru mmhm troo
Anyone who read this incoherent drivel is now a little dumber. Thank you.
I'm gonna create a website that's better than TH-cam. I will try.
@@billybobjoeyo Do it
I am a small youtuber, and I don’t see a problem in the monetization minimum
I've never even used the bell button. Since the beginning I've only used the chronological sub feed, they cannot get rid of that.
Yep ..
Robin
It’s only a matter of time
The collapse of TH-cam and the rise of a competitor in the ashes will truly be a glorious moment. Can’t wait to finally see an alternative to this soulless mind-control wasteland. Sad, really. Many people (myself included) really kind of grew up with TH-cam. It’s been sort of a cultural touchstone, or at least the host for many. Now it’s just a faintly pulsating lump of ad revenue and politically motivated algorithm bullshit. Good riddance.
this is poetry
Taylor
The problem is that the Same people who wants another competing company to run TH-cam into the ground are the same people who don’t want to give the companies a single chance.
How many people you think would give dailymotion, Vimeo, 9gag, etc. a chance?
People will migrate to Vimeo enmasse I believe.
Dan Callahan why would you believe that?
Taylor I don't want to see TH-cam fall, as this is really my only source of daily escapism, but a competitor will definitely force TH-cam and Google to think about their decisions and make changes that the audience wants, not just what sponsors want.
For the love of god PLEASE ETHAN. Get pewds and other TH-cam titan friends together and start a new video uploading site for the ppl and by the ppl. You guys have the resources. TH-cam needs competition. Save us all!
great idea
That doesn't work. At all.
Look at what happened with ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. I recommend Quinton Reviews video on the subject
they dont have the resources
That's actually a good idea
don't compare that den of inbreds to the cream of the youtube crop
TH-cam hasn’t recommended your videos to me in months I though you were dead and I used to watch your videos every time you uploaded last year.
Justin, I feel ya, TH-cam unsubbed me from him
Dude me too.
@@a.j.deutsch1792 happened to me with other channels suddenly unfollowed
Imagine if you subscribed to like ten magazines, but only a few of them actually showed up every month because they didn't think the others were 'relevant' to you. And they kept bombarding you with promos for magazines they think are 'relevant' to you but which really just make them the most money in ad revenue.
danehb89 great simile.
OMG SO TRUE
IF ITS NOT BROKEN, DONT FIX IT.
You have it the wrong way around, TH-cam. Your motto is "If its not broken, fix it until it is"
Or maybe even “If it’s not broken, break it.”
Its broken because they didnt maximize watchtime yet
TH-cam: “If it’s not broken, fix it until it’s broken and can’t be fixed.”
IIIPlasmaIII same like Facebook. as if they need to do some changes just to pretend like they are busy working so that they can keep their job
underrated
My recommendation feed is garbage. I've watched hundreds of Rooster teeth videos, I've subbed and turned on notifications, and frequently like their videos. Not ONCE have I recieved a notification for their content. And I rarely see them in my recommendations.
What never fails to show up is fortnite and buzzfeed. I've clicked not interested in tons of buzzfeed videos, but apparently that's what I need to see. I watch one fortnite video and now they flood my inbox.
Chris J I watched a Buzzfeed once and it hasn't stopped for months
Chris J same dude!!!!!
Yeah i have been seeing fortnite all over my recommendations
Same thing for me after binge watching my favorite TH-camrs, and after that I've got a ton of unrelated recommendations even to the one I didn't even subscribe to, *I'm looking at you BuzzFeed* .
I frequently watch politic videos, but the amount I’m getting recommended is just sad
Dude I feel this all the time. Except I get Consult a nurse ads, and Anti-Vape ads. I’m sick of hearing “To show you how scary vaping is, we made a metal monster!”
I’m a full time TH-cam streamer and this change has just about killed my channel. I used to get an average of 2K-5K viewers for the duration of my streams but that number dropped down to less than 300 overnight due to this change. I’m honestly so sad I could cry. I spent years building a channel and TH-cam just kills it without a second thought... sorry, I needed to vent.
Fuckin' sucks man.
Yeah that is horrible dude, working hard towards something just to have it taken away is seriously shit
why arent you on twitch or something?
P r a y
Why not streaming on Twitch?
There was this old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

My name jeff
I like how subscribing is not enough to know when a knew a video comes out from a channel I like.
Thank you
At least you guys were smart enough to move away from this site, so you don't have to deal with this bs as hard.
They said that when you comment on Nelk’s comment in ethen’s video they would notice. İs it true?
sending a rona as I type this..
Get nelked boi
holy shit its you guys
It was once foretold that in order to see notifications from your favourite TH-camrs you had to literally smash your hand through your monitor to get that "all notifications" reward.
Songs shall be sung of our great sacrifice...
This is why I use feedly and have been for years. It shows me every single video from all of my subscriptions, in chronological order, sorted into categories, and I can dismiss the videos I don't want to watch. Which is exactly how the youtube sub feed should be.
It’s pretty messed up I didn’t get the notification for the bully hunters vid even though I smashed the bell
Thnk u 4 da tip mr. Prezdant
Thx for the tip Dolan. I just got Feedly after I read your comment. Gonna try it out, since I cant trust my YT sub feed anymore.
Dolan Tremp thanks tremp

Missed opportunity
Marketing ruins everything.
fцику мцику *advertisers man, marketing just doing their job. It's the ad pushers. Guys with all your collective TH-cam celeb money you'd think you would made a YT competitor/alternative already. That is unless there's something they're not telling us...
fцику мцику feel like TH-cam paid Logan Paul to post that video for insane check
I mean, capitalism generally ruins things so
not true
+MissPronounced TH-cam wouldn't even exist without capitalism gtfo of here with that shit
Next, TH-cam removes the search bar
Jaminup D~ it only makes sense right? The next big step for TH-cam. Ha
Oh THEY BETTER NOT
(You just got me shooketh)
Then they will click on videos you definitely want to watch for you
It'll just be a big red "next" button that'll play more list and comparison videos.
You can't turn off Autoplay and there's no homepage. You just load up TH-cam and there's a set schedule of videos for everyone to watch. Sounds familiar.
I won't lie, this is definitely me when I'm about to delete my Youtrash account.
You are always on top of my recommended page dude, your whole channel xD
*This is going to screw up so many animation channels.*
Luxra that's been every TH-cam algorithm update since 2011
Implying they haven't been fucked since the early 2010's
It already happened to Cyanide and Happiness.
Wow bold text

We’re already gone dude no way animators can keep up with youtubes current watchtime state it’s only a hobby thing to make TH-cam videos now for 99% of animators
It's like the Government philosophy: If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.
Exactly.
Why does the bell have the option for "none"? Just don't click it. 🤔
Better still... don't subscribe.
Scott W 😆
Its kinda obvious why. Once you hit the alert bottom you may change your mind?
They automatically set it to some notifications so it's there in case you want to turn their annoying presets off. I went through and did it the other day and it took forever. It's just another way for them to promote content at your cost.
Scott W when you subscribe to a channel it automatically puts you on "occasional" alerts. As someone who doesn't want any notifications from TH-cam, I enjoy being able to turn it off.
Recently, I have been unable to see your content in my feed. I just decided to check in on the channel today. This video is the first I see that I haven't watched, in addition to a few other new videos from you. Why didn't these ever show up in my feed?! Leave me and my subs alone, TH-cam!
*There goes everything I've worked for*
TH-cam is destroying people's businesses.
Darkness Prevails

Nice i was just watching your video.
What You doing here ? Lol
hey dark big fan
They don't owe you a living
I wish someone could make a viable competitor to TH-cam at this point. TH-cam has been shunning their content creators for years now and it's really starting to show. They don't value creators, so creators should leave.
Hayden Jacobson sad truth is, no one will even come close
Vimeo is better and would be more popular if it was free
Vid.me was a lot more of a work in progress and it wasn't popular, support wasn't enough and it eventually disappeared
other ones are just bad or not as good. Only way I think someone can compete against youtube is if they are already getting money from a company or if they try what discord did
If we could go back in time and create a website at the same time as TH-cam did, maybe. But the only way we can ever migrate to another website is if every single creator did it at once, which will never happen.
Their competitor is called Twitch. Twitch lets you upload videos.
7Marx7 twitch is owned by Amazon. You can't win!

“Trending”. It’s clearly a promotional page.
When “This Is America” by Childish Gambino was clocking in 14.4 Million views a day, the analysis videos of it and makeup videos were in the top 5 trending.
Everything is monitored, everything is controlled; and carefully selected so that they make sure you only see what they want you to see.
THAT IS SO TRUE! I haven't seen videos from a TON of people for a long ass time because TH-cam just isn't showing me videos from them. I have to seek them out IF I even remember that I'm subbed to them.
This video was first in my feed and it says 5 hours ago
Grumpysnorlax It wasn't IN my sub feed
I just got a notification for this video. It's been 6 hours since it was uploaded. And I rewatch h3h3 and ethan and hila vids constantly so it should be clear that I want to see their content.
Grumpysnorlax ironic
69 likes ;)
6 hours ago here and now it came up in my sub feed..
That’s insane, I subscribed for a reason. I don’t want videos missing from my subscription feed!
Rach H yes there are channels I'm subscribed to but don't watch a lot but sometimes they posts something I do want to watch, with the new system I wouldn't get the chance to watch the videos I want to
Hopefully this change doesn't move on to Pornhub
Veridian nah, pornhub had the video previews and TH-cam took it but made it useless
Oh it will, just you wait
I see someone has their priorities straight, well done.
I hope all good TH-camrs would just move there to make life easier
Google should sell TH-cam to Pornhub
I don't think I've ever looked at the sub feed in the entire time I've watched TH-cam. When I do, it's for like a second & I leave it alone cause I couldn't even figure out what was going on with it before. I've always just gone to a channel & added videos I haven't watched to my Watch Later playlist. It's a bit more effort but I can be guaranteed I'll be watching what I want, in chronological order & still keeping up. Like this video.
for what it's worth, I'm subbed with the bell and regularly binge h3h3, and didn't see this video until I looked at the subreddit 12 hours later.
Thanks, youtube.
Conner Boyd y y
I think it’s pretty simple. TH-cam had been able to grow because younger generations like to be able to decide what they see and when they see it. Not like a traditional broadcaster who determines for us what we need to see.
Looks like TH-cam is going back in time with this...
yeah you're correct
May I use your comment in my video?
Just go to trending. It's the sewage dump of yesterday's late night TV shows. The networks are losing money on broadcast TV, too many cutting the cord, so they dumb their shit here. They get to source deals for commercials that others can't.
Sure! It's an open comment section :)
You sound stupid.

TH-cam seems hell bent on destroying itself these days.
*H3H3 CAN FINALLY END LOGAN PAUL! THIS LATEST NEWS IS THE END OF LOGAN!* Police in Japan have just said the suicide was "a staged prank"! The dead body wasn't real and Logan faked the whole thing! Tell Ethan so he can take down Logan for good off TH-cam! (and yes I put my sources into a youtube playlist for those that asked for proof, i put the police statements in there too!) Tell Ethan plz!
More like, these part years :P

probably wont considering we've seen plenty of "bad" upgrades to youtube yet it still seems to keep going despite everyone saying it'll fail.
Don't worry they're gona take away the search bar all together next. You will only watch what they think you should
or you can play the suggested videos game and get from nursery rhymes to cooking videos to amvs
Yeoj7 how did you leaked future plans of youtube????
True fact: The pupil of a youtube employe expands up to 150% when they see a chance to destroy something
*when they see a chance to make 0.002% more money
:D got em
How is it that i just found this channel?? Subbed and smashed the goddamn bell!
in 5 years YT will be no different from a cable tv service. except every show will be Jimmy Kimmel and cooking
CageTheEternal This scares me more than anything
Sadly this is my same view too.
Do this test: logout, delete all your cookies and navigation history so youtube has no datas about your preferences, then go on the youtube main page and tell me what you see. Do you see any independent creator being suggested on there? I can't. Literally all i see is 100% CBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, fox news, buzzfeed, etc.
This pretty much sums up where they want youtube to be in the future.
don't forget the obligatory clips from the worlds funniest comedian Seth Meyers
Jason Paul atleast its not jeff dunham
TH-cam should just change its name to FilteredTube already. There's no such thing as the "You" in TH-cam anymore, it's just about them now.

Thing is I've never been notified of this video to begin with, which is why I'm only watching it two weeks after it came out
I’m beyond frustrated.
I *RARELY* get notifications from the channels I’m subbed to. (Yes, clicked the notification Bell as well)
*BUT* - TH-cam still finds the time to recommend IRRELEVANT videos to channels I *never* watch or ever intend to watch.
I used to love TH-cam back in 2015-2016 when I actually got to watch *THE CREATORS I HAVE MANUALLY SUBBED TO*
Sad days, binge everything while we still have the chance am I right? I miss old TH-cam.
Dan Smith my TH-cam is Hella broken cause even subbing or bells give me errors and stop me from doing so and unsubbing me
RSS feed reader is your solution. All you have to do is to simply export your sub list from subscription manager and RSS becomes heaven. Then later either manually add new channels to the existing list, which is easy to do since it is just a single line with RSS feed URL that you need to just copy and paste or you could just re-download your sub list again and simply refresh.
Not a single video will be missed. In fact, you will see videos that are uploaded and hidden right away if the creator isn't fast enough or fucks up. It is flawless solution really.
TH-cam practically only recommeneds me stuff I've already watched, it rarely shows new stuff I've never seen before
Same
