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.
He used to produce decent content, until he just started doing everything stupid and wrong. For instance build a HUGE storage server with FreeNAS (now TrueNAS), then failed to back it up, lost tons of Tbs of data, and failed to do typical things with that type of storage system.
That’s one of the failures I can think of off hand, I know there’s a few others but it’s essentially all IT no no’s, things that make IT pro’s cringe. It can 100% amusing content for non IT pro users but yea.
