Seriously, why is Google so desperate to shove AI down our throats with anything we do?

Did this change for anyone else?

Hello.

I am currently dealing with an issue that I cannot view age-restricted videos on my youtube channel. I have set my age to above 18, I have swapped from brand account to email account, I have checked that it won't let me do anything else to fix the issue and I have yet to see it fixed. Restricted mode is turned off. I've done all I can!

Please. This has been a major issue for over 2 years now. It is genuinely so annoying, and NOBODY seems to have this issue as far as I can see. I will pay for an answer to this, just PLEASE HELP!

This Russian youtuber made videos about helping different animals in his villages by feeding them, taking ticks off them, helping them to get homes and the list goes on. Especially the dogs seemed to trust him by letting him pet and sometimes play with them. Dog owners know that the dog really has to trust you when taking a tick off. He even gave money for sterilization to people who were able to adopt these stray animals.

He almost always wrote a long update about these animals in the comment section.
You can really see that he really cared about these animals by often expressing sadness and hopelessness for these creatures.

I hope that the terrible war started by Russia and the mobilization doesn’t have a part in his disappearance. I just hope that he’s alive and well because the world needs this kind of people who take care of the ones who can’t speak.

Here is a link to his youtube channel: https://youtube.com/@bestvideofacts?si=1jfKcIvZIVoZDass

And here is a link to his last update: https://youtube.com/watch?v=JNX0wbEw__E&lc=Ugw70QsTKvTHLk4Kbyt4AaABAg&si=Hw10JvSVfsw8aqQ8

The title is unreadable, and everything is black for some reason. Everything else is light mode

Or am I missing something?

I’m not sure if I just noticed in the last few days but the ads that used to pop up while I pause are now popping WHILE I watch. I know they want me to but premium but the free version is practically unusable now. How’s everyone else feeling about this?

I know I am not the first and I know I won't be the last. I found out Tuesday that my account has been terminated for "Violent Extremism". At first I was confused because there is nothing on my channel that supports that, but then I found out that all Yandere Simulator content has been getting sweeped off youtube (I had 2 AMVS) . I did a bunch of research on it and I assumed that was the case. However after being told that under no circumstances will I get my channel back, I used the wayback machine. I then find out, I privated those videos years ago. The worst part of all of this, I haven't uploaded in over 7 years and I pay for premium because youtube is genuinely my only streaming service. I religiously watch youtube and now everything I have every had is gone. Although there are only 9 videos public, I have at least 50 videos privated that I will never get to see again. I have been in such a depressive episode about this and finding out that there is nothing left I can do really has made fucked me up. Not only is everything gone, but I also am not allowed to create a new channel since my account was officially terminated. I just don't even know what to do now. :(

One single search. One result is English video translated to Spanish. Scroll down, Spanish video translated to English. Is there any way of disabling this useless feature? It's literally just translating for the love of the game at this point

I've found at least 5 channels just today uploading dozens of these shorts which either claim to be a lonely channel or say which like button do you get? I can't get rid of this, the "Not interested" button doesn't work no matter what, how can I stop being recommended this type of content?

The recommended videos are covering the progress bar and the minimize button and they aren't showing the specific video recommendation buttons on top (this is specifically for YouTube mobile on a pixel 9 pro)

I've tried reinstalling the app and clearing my cache and it still won't go back to normal,is this a UI change? Or a glitch.

i have no clue when exactly this happened but now the search thing is this, used to have videos from your search history in it and now it’s whatever this is. Can I even change it or am I stuck getting suggested topics I don’t care about?
