Based on the feed back from many different YouTubers now @TeamYouTube!
YouTube is infact broken. Notifications are not working. And people are getting recommended videos that are two months to two years old.
Youtubers are experiencing a 20% to 30% loss in views.
They need a way to search without getting results from mainstream media or large corporations. I go to YouTube for people, not 100 cnn/msnbc links
