I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.

Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?

      I get nothing, maybe because it’s a brand account attached to a Google account. It doesn’t even have a password and it won’t let me add one 😂😭

        That’s exactly why, actually. Your subscriptions are tied to the normal account, I actually had the exact same issue.

        You should be able to find a screen that lets you select between the two by clicking your avatar, I believe

          There’s no sub file or folder when I do it that way.

          It doesn’t matter, I found one for another account and Newpipe didn’t do anything when I imported it.
