I've encountered so many AI generated videos that now I have to depend on view count since they removed dislike. And even view count doesn't work as well because people click on just to see why there are high view counts, turns out it's an AI video with high view count. Absolutely terrible practice. Youtube knows, they're not stopping

Hmm at a glance I dont see a major issue here, my concern would be that I dont click on vids with shit numbers so they are now on a more equal footing.
But it is better for people not to be so focused on numbers like removing number of likes on Instagram.
I don't know what's up with the algorithm pushing these lately. If it's a video with 4 views from a channel with no subscribers I'm probably not interested in it. Sometimes they have a good thumbnail/title so I give them a chance but 9/10 times it's terrible. Also often extremely right wing for whatever reason.
I don't mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

Is my mental health really something I want Google managing?

Fucking YouTube is at it again, and you know what? I think Susan make a better YouTube CEO than the current retarded CEO, Luckily Revanced is a thing hopefully they patch it if it come true
And you (user) will accept all of it without questioning and maybe they let you watch some video between the ads.
Does TikTok show view count? This seems like a move that is intended to compete with TikTok.

I hope the return down vote people just start collecting view count and upvotes too. Then we can at least keep that.
Screw this, mainstream websites are constantly trying to do everything they can to influence public opinion every day. First dislike button second this.
