YouTube is inefficient and almost completely inoperable in its current state…one can no longer search the internet and click on a YouTube link and watch a music video, podcast, anything without registering with an email. If I sign in (which is highly unlikely) I am prompted again for the next video I try and watch. I have to submit my email for every single video I try and watch (been happening for last 6 months) perhaps it’s an auto setting on my end (to stay logged out, but I’m not bothering to find out how or what changed, I just stopped watching YouTube for the most part.

Information and the internet is under lockdown - siloed into a few AI chatbot results with everything else under email registration or paywall- to the point where I can’t access my local news without registering and am hard pressed to easily find emergency notifications or information in the region I live. It is the degeneracy of the internet in live time.
