In my recent analysis of YouTube’s information density I included the results from an advanced statistical analysis on the number of videos present on the home page, which projected that around May 2026 there would only be one lonely video on the home screen.
Scrolling to the right is also slow as hell with this. It used to scroll across several videos at once but now it scrolls one per swipe.
I stopped using the main page and started using the subscriptions page, which still has the smaller icons. I’m using YouTube a lot less, though.
