Thing is, the songs of the group should come up. Not just the usernames. But the search function has been fucked up so bad that the first page barely has two or three of their songs?

Normally it would give you a list of videos you're searching for, follow by "recommended videos" based off your history and algorithm. It's fucking stupid, but effective sadly.

I recommend nuking your search history from orbit.

Yeah I know this, first 5 or so videos would give you what you actually searched for. Then its shit like "recommended, previously watched ect" then back to what you actually searched for.

This is something else entirely. I've been searching for stuff all day and literally two videos on the first page, then all this shit? Not even titled recommended or anything.

If I clear history will it change? I thought the algorithm would just stick to this.

Okay look how far I had to scroll down to actually get their videos.

I'm gonna nuke my watched history like what was said in the previous post and see what happens.

Is the music group you're watching niche or something? I never had anything like that happen to me.

I miss when it would recommend videos actually similar to what you were watching and you could go down rabbit holes of related videos. Now it's just seemingly random bunch of suggestions with no relation to what you're currently actually viewing

God I remember those days. I would be on Youtube for the whole night. It was so much fun. Nowadays the same shit pops up.

Google wasss the king of the search function, now I have similar problems. I used to be able to search for the exact phrase and find someone who asked a similar question on a forum but now it gives me results based off keywords and giving me results based off what it thinkssss I want to see.

But also I've had better results finding specific videos on YouTube by using Google

Or just videos you have seen years ago. Their recommendations have been shit for so long.

When I search the same term, I get different results. Lots of Japanese music videos. Somethings off on your end.

why are you subscribed to so many channels

I think a person should only have a top 10

like MySpace

You don't even have the app installed. That's even funnier to me.
