Thanks for this thorough rundown of YouTube's enshittification and egregious practices. Admittedly, YouTube is the one google thing that I haven't been able to fully abandon and I hate it.

Made my peertube.wtf channel yesterday. I had stopped using YouTube when Trump got reelected. With a not-fascist platform I might start uploading videos again.
I was not aware how bad some of the new features have made youtube, since I almost never go there anymore "directly", I use alternative frontends like nadeko.net provides, so thanks for posting this. Once this loophole is closed, I will loose my favorite creators forever, if they do not migrate to other platforms, or start blogging like this guy.
Use peertube
I totally get you, I'm slowly adopting to a google free environment myself. you guys think Youtube will get proper competitor?

Fantastic read! Thanks for sharing. I need to find a good tutorial to get started with Peertube
It's been steadily enshittifying on the user experience side too.
- subscription feed has been removed from the sidebar when expanded (but continues to exist when not)
- you can no longer add a video to multiple playlists at once. now you need to wait for the toast to clear, then press the kebab menu again, for each playlist.
- search filtering has been nerfed just today. you can't sort results by upload date anymore.
The last one basically makes my work curating new content on a search term impossible now. what a load of bs.
Same mood here....
Despite nobody in peertube...... 🤷♀️😬
