    So, instead of getting the ability to search for videos properly, with negative search terms, user defined video length spans, exact dates, sort by reverse date order etc… we get ambient mode and color search? Can someone please, for the sake of humanity and my sanity, erase this company and its parent from the planet.

      Seriously, there was a time when Google was lauded for all kinds of awesome innovation, and joked about that you needed a PhD to even be a janitor there.

      Look at them now. They can’t even do basic search functionality anymore, and are so misguided that they put out color filters for video.

      I 100% agree they need to just stop existing at this point.

      The fact that Google started as a search company and yet search in their own apps sucks is boggling.

      In YouTube Music, when you’re building a tuner to create a station, you can’t search at all. Instead, you get an endless scroll off bands and have to find the one you want that way. The order is random.

      Like … Pandora let you do the same thing with search back in the 00’s

      Yes it’s super weird that porn sites had that functionality for over a decade and one of the world’s largest tech companies still can’t implement those.
