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.
I don’t watch a ton of YouTube anymore, but when I do it’s usually the likes of techtubers and gaming creators that incorporate humor with a few “I create dumb stuff for the internet” type channels mixed in.
I’ll list few of my favorite channels, with Piped links of course :)
DankPods, Alpharad, Failboat, I did a thing, Bobby Duke Arts, maxmoefoePokemon, Michael Reeves
Probably missed a few but that’s most of them.
