You are now the CEO of Youtube

You are now the CEO of Youtube.
How would you debloat youtube?

I would make the youtube homepage blank but with just a search bar in the middle.

remove all google related

I'd remove most of the client-side javascript. That includes any analytics, so alteast the browser itself would not send shit to google. If it's not part of the main UI, it's useless.
the reason why youtube seems so bloated is because it has to serve videos on a planetary scale with little to no lag. That means extra code so that shit would work between multiple database servers, caches, webservers, load balancers et etc.

Fpbp

I would also remove comment feature. But keep likes and dislikes

Double down on ads.
Make them un-skippable by embedding them into the video, even if you download it, it'll contain the ads.
Maximize analytics and ads even more, partner with Amazon to serve products directly through site and bypass any affiliate links.
Make millions on bonuses and retire.

Here's my steps:
>stop breaking api and video downloads
>improve non-javascript version
>add a download button
It was a video repository when it launched, remember.
Most of these are not possible though, because modern google is so cucked that they even removed download button from their image search.

Shut it down.

...

i live on the homepage recommendations. no user just cookies

remove ads entirely, it was a mistake to add them back then
"content creators" can suck my dick and balls for all i care

How do you fund the site then?

Oy vey

allow porns
add more bloatful ads
?????
profit

Youtube doesn't work without Javascript you absolute mongs

Return it to an earlier state, wish I downloaded all those videos now gone
Ads didn't interrupt the video back then, they were placed outside of it. Getting Youtube Partner was very hard in early Youtube, it was easier to join a network like Machinima if you wanted $$$ from your creations. Most of the awesome stuff back then were passion projects, creators did them as hobbies and not as jobs.

>Old unused accounts with videos that have no/little views? Delete
>Baby monkey stuff? Delete
>Placing content for children? Get checked/verified. Otherwise delete
>Product placement? PowerPoint style with Indian voice over webshop promo's? Pay big bucks. Otherwise delete
>Algorithm to remove double videos. Because delete
>Better bandwidth distribution. A alot of videos are upscaled before uploading to take advantage of the bandwidth that the higher resolutions get.
>More official supported resolutions, 4:3 resolutions etc. to prevent scaling/upscaling etc.

Turn it into the version of invidio.us without javascript.

That's why I said to develop non-javascript version. Player still wouldn't work, but that's why I decided to add download button.

back to to 2007 design, everything available on top, features easily accessible, no autoplay, not autonext, no comments unless switched on, flat design into the trash

Remove all JS and CSS code. Remove any and all personalization algorithms. Only have pages for channels (video listing) and searching videos/channels. Remove comments entirely. Remove like/dislike buttons. Cease the production of YouTube (Jewgle) produced or sponsored video content. Allow NSFW content like hardcore gore to drive away normalfags.

Thats not debloat... That's destruction of features.
The idea is to achieve the same features and functionalities with fewer lines of code.

The philosophy is to make it as single purpose as possible, relying on other technologies to extend it.

The suckless philosophy would say youtube is a repository, and be a simple index of videos with tags and preview icons. Then you would use curl to download the video, and mpv to play it. Ideally this is all one chained command with pipes in between, which you can set up an awk script to automate.

>How would you debloat youtube?
Not the job scope of a CEO. A CEO is meant to please shareholders.

>even if you download it, it'll contain the ads.
>What is video editing

That sounds slow and extremely inefficient. Quicker to just load that shit on html instead of launching new processes every time.

There's nothing more minimalist then a good old dd if=/dev/zero of=$YOUTUBE

What is you can't make an AI that seamlessly removes embedded ads?

You're not wrong, I'm just telling you what suckless devs would say. If the feature already exists somewhere, they are not going to stuff it in a binary. To them, html5 is bloat.

Suckless more like clueless

Check out mpsyt if you want a working example of a bloatless youtube. Its unfortunately written in python, so its slower than just loading youtube.

Because new ads can be integrated into actual content via stenography

>CEO of Youtube
Delet pedopie and tseries

>You are now the CEO of Youtube.
Would place ads on every single video and not share any of the money with the uploader. What are they gonna do? self host? lol

This. Dumbass bitches in here thinking making YouTube hemorrhage money even faster than it already is is a good idea

youtube r&d is asking Jow Forums for help lmao

add a histogramm at the axsis. remove all that unnecessary shit(mini player and so on)

Split it into 3 small companies.

Have the robot delete every video where at the beginning of the video the person says, "hey it's ya boy..."

>remove everything except search bar and upload button
>remove comments, suggestions and everything except the video itself
>remove YT's video player, replacing it with browser's one by giving the URL to actual video file
>make uploading videos as simple as just uploading a file
