I don't think that means anything. It's just some random words to add pretense to an arbitrary change.

I mean, just stop to think about it. You have a Youtube account, you post videos. Analytics shows traffic from Google but can't show you the keywords.

At one point, Google merged Youtube with Google+. Just did it outright without asking anybody.

Youtubers link their Youtube accounts with Google AdSense.

You can link your Youtube account with your Google Ads account if you want to advertise.

One of the latest features added to the Search Console was... an AI chatbot.

So Google showed us they can link anything with Youtube when it wants, and they can add new features to GSC if it's AI, but for some reason showing Google search terms for Youtube channels took 20 years.

I wish I knew a word like enshittification but for when something improves but at a rate so slow you don't even feel like celebrating it anymore. I think I'd use such word a lot...
