    On the other hand, you watched a bunch of videos of X consistently,but skipped the last 3 we recommended? You’ll never see that topic again.

      Me: Searches for a very specific video that I know exists because I have seen it within the last three months.

      YouTube: Nope, sorry, just can’t find it. Don’t know where it went. I don’t think that video ever actually existed. I’m not even gonna show you results that contain your search terms because of how stupid I think you are.

      In my case, it was looking for a specific video of pulling a 4.2 liter Jeep engine out of a CJ7. YouTube responded with dozens of videos on CJ5’s and Wranglers, and the 4.0 liter engine, but not the 4.2 CJ7, and not the video I was looking for, and unfortunately it’s not the Jeepin with Cool Guy video.

      Although, in one scroll, they did offer to show me the exact same video three different times.

        Inexplicably, despite having the same parent company, a google (or any engine really) search is going to have far better results for finding videos on youtube. I swear they stopped improving the internal search capability back in 2010, when they could have just punted to google.com ages ago.

        I had an 01 Cherokee sport and that 4.0 was amazing though. Spin the tires on pavement no problem even with the automatic transmission.
