youtube search then vs. now
Video Overview & Insights
Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/mancarryingthing
the best way in my experience is to add some code parameter like before:2030 because that kind of forces it to actually show search results. nowhere near perfect though ๐

It's worse if the video your searching was even before 2015.

@Boomchannel_GamingThis is fantastic ๐๐๐ so accurate ๐๐๐
@tommymorgan73it's annoying to have to search from the browser and filter by YouTube.com but there's no way to search from within youtube anymore. it's like they don't want engagement
@herodontusIn future, one day I will remember this video and search "youtube search then vs. now.mp4"
@sahilsolanki5437Owned by a search engine company btw
@Roman_neBlbec๐ well, this one is comedy gold.
@rexefe559Ashish chanchlani ?

@KitCloudkicker420-hi Youtube, i want the video with this especific tittle, please
-ok Master, here is 485 AI slop shorts, trust me, they are more adic... a mean, interesting for you ๐
I thought you are ashish chanchalani
@Hypr704Every time I try to search for comedy videos about a specific topic, YouTube's garbage AI pulls up informative videos. I'll try something like "when the person you're talking to is passive aggressive funny" and I get nothing but self-help videos or tricks to spot narcissistic behavior. You can't search for anything anymore without it forcing you to give up and go down some rabbit hole instead. With videos, the search bar is useless, but hot damn they'll be glad to show you a few Shorts that are somewhat related.
YouTube Shorts isn't better though considering it's packed with garbage memes that steal clips and edit in 30 sound effects to play in a 5 second timespan. I used to watch 5 Shorts that were related to the topic before YouTube was like "Hey dude. Do you wanna watch something else or should I stay on track with the same topic?" Now YouTube's just like "Yeah you've watched 1 or 2 Shorts about this so we're just gonna go ahead and move on to the next thing. M'kay? Don't care." I also can't stand seeing those Shorts that have a paragraph of information but they highlight specific words to make you get the jist of what they're trying to say without having to read the full message. Kids already have a low attention span. You're seriously trying to simplify a paragraph to keep the doomscrolling going?
And you can't watch Live videos because Roblox Livestream Scammers litter the feed with their prerecorded looped videos. "Guys, I'm literally about to do it. I'm literally about to call 911. If I get three more people to send me a LAUGHING DISCO, then I'll call them." It's either those douchebags or some fat dude sleeping in a chair. There's no integrity whatsoever except in the rare chance that you find someone who is passionate about retro video games.
Not sure if anyone else has taken note of this like I have but ever since PewDiePie was dethroned by T-Series, and corporations took over, YouTube has become a landfill of shit. No one cares about making genuine content anymore.
The fact that this video appeared in my YouTube search results means it's spot on.
@JorgeOstosYes.. same at google btw.. you type something specific and AI corrects it.. and me : no ..
@thomassommerfeld8494No my proplem diffirent they show me small yutuber that 10 viuse or semaler wich usually law qaulity or people just do not revio a cruse
@hiiiiiiii3853Like, actually really accurate ๐๐๐. So funny and sad at the same time...
@djvar94Just use Google to look up the exact video title.
@MentalParadoxexactly. And they outright removed the dislike button meaning they absolutely do not care at all about any criticism / negative feedback. All they care about is getting high numbers, they do not care about quality at all.
@llVIUAshish chanchalani
@prabaldam2703Hello Ashish Chanchalani
@md.aktarhossain5147You forgot the bunch of shorts
@qxiiaw2541"You KNOW I watched that." ๐๐๐
Also, while the bit is funny and the trajectory was funny, let's not pretend YouTube search was EVER anywhere close to good! Not in 2015, not before, not since! And yet, it can seemingly always get worse...
2026 it's even more worse ๐
@Mr.Unknown0701If only I could hit ๐ like a thousand times... โค
@a2FlisaThis is true but another problem I have is that if I search "benefits of b12" it'll never find me a related video when all the titles are "this miracle vitamin will do wonders for you!" or "your not tired, you're missing THIS!" or "you HAVE to try this supplement or you'll DIE"
Stop being so damn mysterious for God's sake.
now maybe this is why I couldnโt find a specific phone caseโฆ. until this year I searched differently and it finally actually show what I want. But I already ask my brother abroad to buy it instead. Since I can find it on that countryโs online shop. (itโs cheaper if he buy it instead) Like bruh
@AddyMYI feel like I don't search specific enough to know how this feels ๐ญ??
@onlyyonesunHow about 50 youtube shorts ๐
@crazyXyz2233-u6gHeres the format you want. {Title}:(year)
@FAY69420Ashish Chanchlani๐๐
@mrindianinsan3584If there were a alternative then youtube is gomna have a 4chan downfall but their bots are the ones keeping them "alive"
@huheydnddksIm defence of youtube, their search has gotten better at retrieving what people want hence the growth. I would criticise them for getting rid of the dislike button count and how monetisation increasingly favours the company, advertisers and governments over creators. But search has improved. For one thing, upload format doesn't matter anymore, videos are just videos from the user perspective.
@5tycho๐๐๐๐๐๐
@saraahmeedI searched for a bleach tybw got here ๐
@amitj.7548Me, search for a specific music tipe

Here is an sponsor music video that has nothing to do with what you just search in first opcion, have fun
YT trying not to suggest an unrelated short in a search (Impossible challenge)
@mohammadsab4478I also search something about a old game and i cant find it in Youtube, i found it in google tho
The name of the old game was grand defense
I watched that trahan vid and it was a day straight of moving to different state
@LazyCritThey realized that they can make more money by keeping us always scrolling
@aiden_3cI have a playlist full of never forget videos because of this ๐ it was so hard to find some I just saved them
@ceostudio๐๐๐๐
@mohabtarek6846After scrolling through the Ai and shorts shit and pressing to show more, it even ignores what you typed and goes back to randome videos that has nothing to do with what you typed anywhere
@alex.g5803What about the part where you get inundated with far right videos by people who are later found to be abusers and pdfs?
