Apparently there’s a huge migrant crisis in the UK.

If AI really is the hotness they say it is, it can (and should) clean up the platform. I'm not going to stick around and find out though.

YT is fucked up now. All the channels I subscribed to, I don't get notified when they put out new videos. Fuck that place.

100%. I don't want any 'covid era' videos when everyone was crazy.

Also length, not into 40 minute monetization nonsense or 'shorts.'

that's a good'n -- searching by length would be nice too

You can filter your search. What you have to do is...type what you want in the search box and then click it. Once the list of videos comes up, look on the right side of the screen simply click "filters" You'll get the screen to pop up (see image) and can choose one from each category to narrow down your search. What's fucked up and confuses people is, you have to search for your topic first, then filter it.

sure, but I prefer more granular, specific control of parameters like dates and lengths
