Earlier, each channel in my "subscribed" list have had a number beside it indicating how many videos I haven't yet watched. Sure, it didn't always work properly and sometimes had a too high or too low number, and it was showing the numbers from yesterday until I refreshed the page to show current numbers, but it was nonetheless an indicator that I've likely missed something. For the last week or so, however, it seems to be gone, and I find that rather annoying.

Now, my question is, is this on my end (my account or computer) or is it Google that just want to annoy me (no, I won't accept the option that they removed it because they figured it didn't work as well as it should, I want to think I'm important enough for Google that they may mess with me personally)? And, in any case, is there a userscript that brings it back?

They did a few updates lately and one I LOVE is when you hover over a video with the mouse it plays a GIF of the video before click on it. so NO MORE CLICK BAIT VIDEOS ON MY TIME >:) wooohoo

and I hate the new layout of some things and that is about it.

Yes, alas! Most of the naughty/flashy/exhibitionist (self-recorded) videos from horny, amateur, cute little things, suddenly disappeared... All the cutiepies i had been following before, most of their accounts have been terminated (by Youtube) and videos removed! I want to cry, i want to weep, waaah!!! :'(

Gimme my cute little girls back, you meanies, sob, hic!!! :'(

And while we're complaining about Youtube in general, is there a way to force the Android Youtube application to NOT continue playing the video in a thumbnail as you navigate away from it? I know I can just fling it away, but I specifically navigated away because I did NOT want to see any more right now. I tried that, back when I had numbers, didn't always work (as I said, they were frequently wrong), so I decided that it shouldn't bother me much. At least, it bothers me less than not having numbers at all, I don't want to go through the whole list just to see if there's something new.

An option would be nice - numbers for those who want them, and no numbers for those who are annoyed by them. But I guess Google, like Apple, Microsoft, and many others, are moving away from that archaic notion of having options and each user being able to set stuff up to work in a way that suits them.

That annoys the hell out of me as well.

Freaking hate YouTube on my Android TV, no way to turn off Autoplay.

I'm not surprised.

Huh, don't you know your supposed to download your favorite content on YouTube because you never know when it could be gone? .... even stuff that does not violate youTube rules can vanish at any time for any number of reasons - be warned!

I never download such sessions without permission from broadcaster, because i am a good boy! Alas, good people get hit the hardest and in the most unjust manner possible...

You can use WebTube, I don't have those issues you're describing with this app. It can be found here: https://github.com/martykan/webTube

The problem is that people have not understood to assume that whatever they put on the internet, stays on the internet. People still think they can remove stuff, its not happening people, its not happening, just give it up already, geeesh.

I'm fairly certain I have a video or two up on youtube that would never see the light of day again, were I to remove them.

Probably, but if you did remove them would you bet your life it is not on the internet somewhere? Would you for example offer a million dollar reward that they could only collect by shooting you in the head? No matter how obscure or boring the upload was, i know i would not be making that kind of bet.

You always have to assume its on the net, even if the reality is that it is not, but you can never know for sure... that's the problem.
