Seriously, what the fuck? I thought it was some kind of user interface glitch so I looked it up. Nope, they're A/B testing this shit.
Found this brilliant statement by Youtube on the matter:
Now note that we are deprecating one sorting option and that is by oldest video at the channel level. But don’t panic, you can still view the oldest video of a channel, by scrolling through it’s content’
Oh, yeah, just scroll to the bottom. Silly me, I guess I'm just a stupid idiot for not realizing the option was redundant since I can simply take the time to scroll through potentially thousands of videos.
Why are silicon valley tech people such freaks?
so SO much. watching tv is to passively consume fabricated images instead of real ones, and the conglomerated ownership of tv production means that this consciousness-shaping power is in the hands of a very small few.
