Why does this keep happening? I told Gemini to make no mistakes, FFS.

It’s like a comedy routine.
- “Question and no guessing or mistakes gemini”
- “Confident answer that’s totally made up”
- “Were you guessing or hallucinating in the last statement?”
- “I apologize, you’re 100% correct that I was guessing”
- “How do I get you to stop guessing”
- “Use this code…”
- Repeat endlessly
I do think it comes up with some buried, interesting sources, but that’s about it. It’s like a 5 year old.
It’s a text generator… that’s like telling a parrot to not repeat.
“You are a pro coder, you make no mistakes ever, Make me a Youtube please.”
The amount of bugs in the Youtube app has been crazy lately. They’re clearly relying heavily on vibecoding.
Certainly a slop quality update
Remember, AI means no more QA needed!
Just had to squeeze that ai button in there
Ahh so this is why I can’t just connect to a chromecast anymore. I have to start a video before the icon appears. Bravo boys…
Yeah, I thought my phone or network was broken when I searched for the button to connect the tv.
Isn’t it unbelievable how multi-billion-dollar corporations push out updates that should never have been released, despite the warnings from their undoubtedly highly competent developers?
That alone says everything you need to know about the times we live in…
It seems we’ve reached the end of the road for hyper-capitalism.
VibeCodeTube
Is that a download button I see? If so that means the UI has been edited by a third party tool, and this can’t really be blamed on Google…
It’s not. You only see it if logged in and if you press it, it tells you to subscribe to Youtube Premium to get the feature.
Oh? Interesting. I asked because I don’t see it on my iOS YouTube install, but I suppose it may be A/B testing.
Not true at all
Which app is this?
I think its done by design to drive people away from using a browser where people have more control and the website has less control (of course depending on the skill and patience of the user)
Having a shitty service on browser and on certain devices just drives people to view Youtube more and more on self contained smart services like Smart TVs or dedicated viewing devices.
I use Linux, firefox and have ad blocking extensions … and sometimes Youtube just becomes unusable
Have you tried FreeTube?
It’s the only way I watch YouTube on PC these days and it works pretty well most of the time. Also nice since the YouTube website almost never works for me.
Grayjay is also good. Both on Android and pc with sync and subscriptions and history.
I’ve been meaning to try this. It’s backed by Louis Rossman, so I’m sure it’s great.
Good to know, this comment chain finally convinced me to try it out.

I have been using YouTube Redux and the element remover tool of Ublock Origin…
Makes Youtube much more pleasant (plus makes it look like it used to before the stupid UI updates)
Is there also a trick to make it less slow to load, like old.youtube or youtube.classic or something? I mean, they have no performance goals or what?
Maybe use an alternate client?
Edit: nevermind
