| 'Now'??!? Youtube's search has been literally broken for more than a year, several of us mentioned this on HN months ago. e.g. Y-search used to honor the operators like 'intitle:' and `|` like G-search, but that functionality is long gone. I'm not even convinced '-' works anymore. Nothing's gonna save their query system except Google's backend engineers. Good luck waiting for that. --- Until then I highly recommend using userscripts/addons to bring some sanity back to using the platform: 'Block Youtube Users' : "hides videos of users/channels from home, search, related, and comments" https://greasyfork.org/scripts/11057-block-youtube-users ~~ My favorite! It's like GHHbD[0] but from within Youtube. [0] http://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/ --- 'YouTube: Hide Watched Videos' by EvHaus : 'mask or hide visibility of watched videos and shorts' https://github.com/EvHaus/youtube-hide-watched --- 'Return WATCHED badge on Youtube (with custom text)' by q1k : "Brings back the WATCHED overlay to the videos you have already watched" https://greasyfork.org/scripts/419722-return-watched-badge-o... --- 'YouTube Clickbait-Buster' by hjk789 : "Check whether it's worth watching a video before actually clicking on it, by 'peeking' its visual or verbal content, description, comments, viewing the thumbnail in full-size and displaying the full title" https://github.com/hjk789/Userscripts/tree/master/YouTube-Cl... --- 'Youtube Scrollable Right Side Description' by sh3ll : "Description is moved on the right, expanded and scrollable (and a view-count is put under the player)"
{FYI: if you use a white or light theme on YT, go into the script and change the view-count text to something dark} https://greasyfork.org/scripts/452405-youtube-scrollable-rig... --- 'Make "Videos" the default tab on Youtube channels', a contrib by Scriptchansky https://greasyfork.org/en/discussions/requests/56798#comment... |
