And craptastic search and discovery features.
Yeah, but discovery optimisation algorithms are what got YouTube into the mess it's in. I'm okay with a more natural, look for what you want style, as opposed to being handed video after video to waste time and oversaturate your mind.
I wouldn't know too much about the searching issue. What problems have you noticed?
I found that it has zero ability to infer and suggest from what I'm typing. If I typo "mine inch", easy to do on a phone keyboard, it is completely lost. But YouTube knows that I'm definitely looking for nine inch nails. "Chicken tr" on YouTube knows I'm looking for chicken tractors before I even finish, Odyssey is completely lost and requires me to type the whole thing out. When I'm searching for music it requires me to know exactly what I'm looking for and doesn't offer much in the way of exploration help.
