Schadenfreude.

Big channels complaining their overly inflated views due to bots or cheating the system are now being corrected? Crocodile tears.

Smaller channels pumping out quality content that are being suppressed by the algorithm need to be highlighted/celebrated more as opposed to the clickbait/sensory overload garbage.

On the other hand, they did add a "hype" feature for smaller channels (under 50k subscribers I think). Within the first(?) week of videos being uploaded, viewers can "hype" the video for free and it'll greatly boost the visability of the video/channel. One of the few good things Youtube actually added.

Youtube insists that Restricted Mode thing is an opt-in feature, but a lot of people are just now finding out about it and that it was turned on for them. So I sincerely doubt it is opt-in only and that new algorithm that restricts content based on what it assumes your age is may be involved. Especially since they've recently added AI-assisted features (like auto-dubbing) that were automatically turned on. Had to go to my upload defaults and turn off that AI stuff.
