I've been using youtube, google and other websites to find good videos and articles on multiple subjects. For a while now, these sites have gradually reduced search options, e.g. youtube has removed the option to sort videos by order of upload, number of likes or views. Google has removed similar features from google videos and google news.
These large websites are treating their users like kids. The benefits of systematic searching are gradually disappearing.
Additionally, google and youtube (as well as facebook, twitter etc.) are phasing in more and more censorship. Political videos are tagged "controversial", large news outlets are beeing removed from google news because they're not deemed politically correct etc. Wikipedia added an "unimportant" tag to biographical entries. This feature has been used to tag Ben Swann (great journalist) or Yuri Bezmenov (KGB defector who warned the US about the dangers of collectivism and subversion) as unimportant. It's clearly just a tool in a political fight to supress certain views.
It's really disgusting to observe these developments. $.02
