I don't know who thought this was a good user experience

Which youtube decision of recent years ever thought about user experience?

It's all "company bets" and "promotion tracks".

When it was a fight against TikTok you got Shorts that you can't get rid of.

Now you probably have to "show commitment to our AI offerings" or something. So you get autotranslated videos by a team which will get 500k bonuses and will move on in a month
