From a period around 2013 until maybe 2017 or 2018 at the latest, I tried my damnedest to have fun with a YouTube channel which focused on my various projects, interests, and the like, much like any other even remotely “geeky” person tends to do. For a while it was fun, but soon, thanks to …

YouTube Changed Their API. Again. This Broke Video Downloads. Again.
I really don’t much like YouTube anymore. I haven’t for years now, but it, like Google, is one of those necessary evils in the digital life of most everyone. I’ll fully admit it’s where a majority of the video content I watch originates, but that’s simply because everyone puts their content there, and I watch …

YouTube Is Still Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Feed – A Follow Up
Back in July of 2018 I wrote an article (YouTube Is *Still* Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Subscription Feed) discussing YouTube showing channels I’ve unsubscribed to in my subscription feed – a problem that many seem to have. I can presume others are having this issue, anyway, for one simple reason: the …

About YouTube Killing Off Annotations…
Back on January 15th YouTube finally killed off the annotations feature completely on all videos. This came about a year and a half after YouTube ended the ability to create and edit annotations in any form, rendering those existing on videos as “stuck” so to speak, and not allowing any newly uploaded videos to take …

YouTube Is Back Up. That Only Took A Solid Hour And In That Time The Internet Had A Field Day!
After well over an hour of being down effectively globally, YouTube is back up and running as… er, well… as ever. While I’ve not yet seen any info on what the cause of the issue was, it does look like it was resolved, so we can all go back to watching whatever absurd junk we …

Hey Google, Ya Mind Not Letting YouTube Go Down For Damn Near Everyone?
It’s not every day that one of the top visited websites in the world seems to go down for most everyone, but when it does, it’s kind of incredible. In this case, as I type these words it’s 8:30 in the evening central time and YouTube has decided to go down. Well, not completely, you …

About That Terrible Computer Build Video By “The Verge”
I know I’m well over a week late for this one, but this is one of those things that was just too hilarious to pass up – the single worst custom computer build video that I think most people have ever watched! At least, as far as serious videos go, anyway. The video, published on …

YouTube Is *Still* Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Subscription Feed
In an article I wrote back in April, titled “I’m Quite Certain YouTube Is Re-Subbing Me To Channels I’ve Unsubscribed To!” I discussed that YouTube was showing in my subscription feed channels which I was certain I’ve unsubscribed to. Well, it’s still happening. I’m not just sure it’s happening this time, I *know* it is …

YouTube Is Tracking Users By Default Via Embedded Videos
Something I’ve never once understood over the past decade or so of being online has been the absolute love that people have for Google — not just the “oh, they have neat services” aspect, but the fact that people will go out of their way to ignore their constant begging for user data (as the …

I’m Quite Certain YouTube Is Re-Subbing Me To Channels I’ve Unsubscribed To!
So, we all know how YouTube has been, apparently, stealthily unsubscribing people from various channels over the past few years. This is a pretty well documented trend that is quite the annoyance for most users of the site, especially when compounded with how the site now no longer seems to wish to show people some, or …

YouTube Changes Its Partner Program Requirements – For The Worse
I never did get a chance to write about the “Adpocalypse” of 2017. Super long story cut short, varying incidents with high profile YouTube content creators resulted in many advertisers pulling their advertising from the platform entirely, due to not wanting to be associated with objectionable content creators. It got worse recently when a high …

The Great YouTube Subscriber Purge – Or Was It Just A Glitch?
Many YouTube Content Creators awoke yesterday to find that they had lost many subscribers seemingly overnight. While some larger YouTube channels lost thousands, smaller channels lost maybe 10 – I personally went from 191 to 184, and I was somewhat surprised until I looked on Twitter and saw many others posting about similar losses, which …

YouTube Has Broken Their Subscription Listings. What Else Is New?
When I go on YouTube to watch a video, I expect it to just work. More precisely, I expect the fundamentals to work as they should – I’m able to log in, watch the videos I want to, and go about my day enjoying content. The subscription listing is key to this, since those content …
