It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I’m start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

    Only thing I watch on youtube anymore are, like, 8 out of 10 Cats does countdown and TaskMaster.

    I used to watch a lot more, but a lot of the channels I used to watch ended up losing their god damn minds with covid and i just checked out and moved on.

        i cycle through 8 out of 10 cats does countdown like once a year.

        Sean lock is definitely missed.

        Sean and MIles were the best duo in all of Countdown…Even if they were on opposite teams. Especially when they were on Opposite teams.
