I've noticed that the video tags have now been hidden from public view on all videos... I guess too many people were complaining about some users going overboard on the tags (something I'm guilty of on occasion).

I can't tell you how many users abuse the tags to earn cheap views, namely adding words like "boobs" and a million others I can't say on here.
Yes, I've lost count of how many stupid videos I've found that have "porn" in the tags.
While I haven't used words like that, I may go a little overboard like if there are specific cultural references in a video I've made, I'll add those to the tags, otherwise, not so much.

Actually, it's because users rarely used them to go from video to video.
Now Wayback Machine doesn't seem to be working properly anymore either... everything pretty much looks like a read-only/text-only archive, as opposed to the preservation of what the specific site used to look like.
Probably because users are too lazy to click "Show more" in the video description... or at least, that's why I have to remind people on occasion to read the full description when they question something that's clearly pointed out in the description.
There they go again.
And once again, they're basically going out of their way to make the homepage really inconvenient for everybody... there's really no option now to just see your description, now you HAVE to see every single activity those you've subscribed to have done (comments, likes, playlists, etc)... I couldn't care less! I just want to see what new videos my subscriptions have uploaded, not read what they had to comment on a video that's of no interest to me!
