They got rid of the Dislike button. Fine. They changed the Homepage to 2 ginormous thumbnails per row. WTF are they thinking? They doubled down and forced that change onto the Subscription page too when people started just using that instead. Now I'v noticed a LOT of videos posted from subscribed creators do not appear on the subscriptions page at all. Go to homepage? There it is plain as day. I'd complain (30second unskippable ad) about the (30second unskippable ad) annoying bombardment (30second unskippable ad) of advertising on (30second unskippable ad) the platform but (30second unskippable ad) I use Ublock.

There has to be some sort of competitor (not Twitch) that is a reasonable equivalent? I'm at my wits end here. It seems all Media Content online has become outright hostile to consumers and I want to go to war.

There's an extension to get it back

They changed the Homepage to 2 ginormous thumbnails per row

And they've hidden the 'watch later' button, to press it now you first need to wait for the video preview to load ๐Ÿ™„

WTF are they thinking?

It's like they purposely make the UI a little bit worse every two months.
