Every change with youtube in the last few years has been worse and worse. Off the top of my head:
The main uploader never worked properly, even when your browser was up-to-date; it was slowl, errored often, etc. I used to use the classic uploader, but last year they decided to get rid of it. Why? Well, there doesn't seem to be a good reason.
Bad javascript coding that causes pages to not display accurately, or at all and tell you that you donm't have javascript enabled, when you do.
Annoying features pre-enabled that you have to disable.
No longer being able to ban a user from your channel. Now you can only report comments. This is particularly frustring for a user that posts mutiple trolling or hateful posts, or rides hte line on the rules to not qualify for reporting.
Removing you ability to earn and be able to post videos fifteen minutes or longer, now you can only do that -- as I recall -- by verifying your account, which means invasive privacy concerns via Google. I wish youtube had never been purchased by Google.
Features that only work if you have the newest browser version or updates to this, that ,or the other thing, leaving you unable to use them if you don't want said new versions.
Things that don't work and they tell you it's because such-and-such is out-of-date, yet the changes happened with no new browser ot such-and-such update to get, meaning it was a coding issue on youtube/google's end.
And a Godawful complains/resolution center system. A perfect example -- though I've heard others -- is one I discovered a week or two ago; check out of what popular yotuube user the Bushman, went through with youtube/google:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EASfm9HPvOE
And so forth and so on, on so many thigns here and there. I remember when youtube was easy to use to a degree, even with out-of-date programs. Or up-to-date programs.

Well, there is competition, it's just that they don't offer as much as youtube does.
There dailymotion.com, which as fallen into hte toilet so far it's full of ads that constantly re-load and the potential of malicious code, I can't even recommend going there anymore.
There's vimeo.com
And there's another site I can't recall the name of at the monent.

Briefly, then it'll read your new cookies and start suggesting things again. That is, in it's regular mix of suggestions that don't seem cookie-related:
Other videos from the same channel, similar channels, related content, random unrelated Left-wing crap, random videos that nobody would want to click on, paid sponsored videos, and of course stuff that when you click on it you find is blocked or deleted already.
