so true.
and your right,the private message is gone,so there is no way to talk with someone personally.
and its too inconvenient because we sometimes need to have a talk only between the two.
it's totally horrible that youtube forces all these things and they dont listen to users at all.
but thats how theyve been like since around 10 years ago so it even sounds silly to mention this now lol

true. exploring other channels was one of my daily fun activities when on youtube and it was also so fun to see various types of channel with different colours depending on the person.
we can do none of them anymore.
youtube has took off everything that was quite enjoyable for us,and now all that is left is videos.
and sadly there is no "send a friend invite" stuff anymore.
we cannot even talk to each other like we used to,as long as we dont repond in video comment.
so hard to use.

*cont*
because of the shitty layouts, and things thats make normal users hidden
i used to upload vids just for fun,and as a way to get connected with new mates,and have good conversation but its reall hard now cuz people can hardly find me.
obviously, our channels themselves are shit,they dont show our comment section or our subscribers/subscripition so we cant go to other channels easily,like wandering through channel to channel stuff

yeah but you know what,i actually dont care about views. because i used to use youtube just for various stuff,mainly interacting with friends through comments,my videos,and watch many videos not for making money. that place was just for fun. but what is most irritation now is not that i cant get views,but we cant "be seen".
not only has youtube made it difficult for us to get views,also they have made difficult for us to just been seen by someone.

cont
i like the words someone said"its now "broadcast what we want you to broadcast""
thats so true.
they dont want users like who upload their daily videos for fun,and wanna have a good time with their friends.
youtube is now not a place for that

true. even if we upload vids, there is large possibility that we dont get viwes. cuz youtube has made it hard for everyone to be spotlighted and its a place for celebrities,moderator like people which we could always watch on tv
so every content is like the same and not good handmade stuff anymore
do you remember youtube once had"broadcast yourself" beside its logo?
since certain moment they have removed it and now thats it.

*seem* to have left...
just mistyped

*cont*
different place,needless to say

yes,but what is worse,many of those cool peeps who had uploaded those good old videos also see to have left youtube because of the horrible change, and now their channels are dead,inactive like they are no more there. the last video upload was like 7 years ago... and its really sad to see these lonely places...
good people have left,and now seems like the type of the user have totally changed.
everything has changed. things have changed,and people have changed. that site is now totally a differe

Good question, I have no idea when they operated. They may have come here and there, too.
