Except for the majority of users, eliminating spam and unmoderated content is far higher on the priority list than maintaining relatively niche features.

Whether it be Reddit or Facebook to YouTube, people are demanding security and greater tech company control over features.

But if you remove spam videos from yt is it still a niche feature?

I don't need captions that often but if I do not then half of them are community provided in my experience.

This is (unintentionally) again hitting against videos with useful content, compared to this endless slew of pointless (and often content wise incorrect) click bait videos.
