Yea, seems like a fun and quirky feature, but unfortunately I don't think there's anything big tech companies can do at this point to turn things around with public opinion given how utterly egregious their other sins have been (and continue to be).
Fun quirky features are things you make when you have a good product.
These types of features added to things with genuine ongoing problems will always piss off users.
Most people love YouTube, I know it doesn't feel like it when you're inside the Lemmy bubble but the big tech companies are far more popular than anything we like
I love the videos on it, and fist off I liked the site too, but they have been enshittifying it pretty hard lately
