I mean, you’re not necessarily wrong, but for some people that is kind of just the appeal. It’s very obviously targetted at a very niche group of people, and if you’re not in that, of course you’ll dislike it
That’s the thing. I AM in that group of people. YouTube is front loaded with a ton of garbage but that site isn’t the correct answer. I get stripping YouTube features. That’s fine. But I’d expect them to leave stuff that isn’t even a feature but simple web design in 2023. Fuck even simple web design in 2005. No website looked that terrible. Everyone, for years, has understood that you need to tweak things slightly so people can process information easily. Slapping everything with the same font, same formatting and then squishing it so close together is idiotic. Even at it’s height, YouTube never looked like so utterly stupid.
