“it's only shorts and playlist and absolutely no videos, i have to search google, why is the search bar even there?”
“why do so many youtubers do ranking videos but then ignore side content? like ranking resident evil games but ignoring the side games! why rank if you wont rank them all?”
“Yeah, I'm kind of tired of coming up with new ways I'm not bored of, all to say the exact same thing over and over again because people all think their basic problem is unique and can't be bothered to read a few similar posts before making their own or just do the bare minimum…”
Several users are noticing that YouTube videos sometimes have the same titles, making them difficult to locate and distinguish from one another. This issue appears to affect both creators and viewers, causing confusion and frustration when searching for specific content.

“Yes I want to find the title that's why I asked. I had it in my playlist but it is private so I don't think archive will help with that 🥲 [re: Is it possible to get links to these videos? I am trying to find a song.]”
“I like this one, for example! Ofc it has nothing to do with Doom, but still the video name is nostalgic submitted by /u/paul_405 [link] [comments]”

“I feel like it shouldn't but I keep seeing my favorite YouTubers getting their videos stitched together in long compilations "to sleep to" like that's still content theft, blatantly but YouTube doesn't seem to crack down on it submitted by /u/doodgeeds [link] [comments]”
“i definitely did not watch this video, and the comments all say the same submitted by /u/ThatBirdieCrow [link] [comments]”
“It popped into my mind again a year or so back, and I did a deep search for it on youtube, and even asked ChatGPT, but it seemed to disappear entirely from all existence. I think the video is prob 15-20+ years old.. Even if you don't know how to find it, if you've even heard it, or it sounds familiar to you, please say something. It'll just help to know I'm not losing my dang mind. :-P submitted by /u/lazarus102 [link] [comments]”
“Then the title would be too long. Usually, you want YouTube titles to be less than 50 characters.”
“So I guess "Remember __ ? His life is over now" is the new copy/paste title that gets the most views on drama videos. Not to long ago it was "The Satisfying Downfall of _ _"”
“Yeah, I'm kind of tired of coming up with new ways I'm not bored of, all to say the exact same thing over and over again because people all think their basic problem is unique and can't be bothered to read a few similar posts before making their own or just do the bare minimum and figure out how the platform actually works before trying to make content on it. I kinda do get it, though, people just treat these subreddits like google in a way and there're a lot of ways to get some”
“press the ■ button if you agree youtube has lost the plot submitted by /u/Sandy_boi [link] [comments]”
“Is this happening to anyone else? I just noticed this today when I was watching my own video, theres only the like button there but the dislike button is still visible for other videos that aren't mine (and when I'm viewing from other channels as well, so possibly still rolling out). Could this apply just for your own videos as it is like now (to prevent self-disliking, I guess)? Or will YouTube eventually roll this out for every video like they did with shorts? Also, if you have an exte”
“it's kinda stupid question i guess? but i kinda wanna know? submitted by /u/OfficialZenoUK [link] [comments]”
“I mean, there is literally a setting on every video (under "See More" on your video details page) where you set the Category. You can also set a default category for your channel.”
“I like how its two science channels and a Meccha Chameleon vid with a goofy ass Mr beast thumbnail in the middle”
“It's like every other video I click on, now. I get baited in by a vague question in the title, then the video starts with them immediately restating that question, and then it says "Let me explain." Then they faff around explaining unrelated nonsense for 90% of the video, then finally answer the actual question in the very last seconds (if you're lucky.) Like... I get it. "JuSt dON't wAtCh yOutuBe sHoRts." Clickbaiters are gonna clickbait. What _actually_ irks me”
“Tho I agree it’s hella annoying, I think they actually have to do that otherwise their vid gets claimed and lose monetization, at least that’s how I’ve understood it.”
