Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.
Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.
Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?
Nope, been happening way before that and ProZD already made a video documenting it about a month ago. You can improve the results somewhat by playing around with the “tags” at the top of the screen.
Yesterday I noticed something. I was searching for a few different things, but only got completely random garbage. That was the only time so far I noticed that. Before yesterday the search was fine. I hoped that was just a hiccup, but we will see…
