Why not set up a candy rules, when audience click on the ads can get 1~5 points, collect and for redeem the goodies like size up the storage space or something else.

                      Both YouTube on a website and on Android is really bad. I can't even go through the comments to see whether it is a clickbait or not without the video being played. And the video quality changes on its own no matter what we set. I know Windows phones don't matter anymore, but the YouTube apps are the best when it comes to features. I really like the myTube app. It is a universal app, so I tell all my family and friends to try it. Specially if they have kids.

                            youtube needs content moderation plugin to flag fake news

                            if a user's video received more flags on fake content, violence, spammy content etc
                            his account should be suspended until he cleans up his content

                              i installed a chrome extension long ago, showing the likes-dislikes ratio underneath a video thumbnail without clicking on that particular video. if the ratio os more on the dislikes side, i simply don't click it. for the interested parties, the extension is called Ratings Preview for YouTube and available in chomre store for free.

                                    But only in the home page and not in the recommended/related videos on the right.

                                      Much better and hopefully sooner than later.

                                        But I feel like this shouldn't be YouTube's main focus right now.
