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.
Really? Maybe I’m not on this side of YouTube but for me there are tons of great channels to watch. I’m more interested in science/tech/engineering/video games stuff. I watch Tom Scott, nilered, explosions&fire, Scott the Woz, 8bit guy, summoning salt, electroboom, captain disillusion, I did a thing, William Osman, LGR, Michael Reeves and plenty of more good, not clickbaity, drama free channels I’m watching.
Yeah I think OP’s preferred subject has something to do with the issue he’s having. I mainly watch car and tech videos, and I even use the algorithm suggestions sometimes (bad, I know), and I rarely see anything I don’t want to or that makes me roll my eyes.
I like LTT, Junkyard Digs, Pole Barn Garage (small channel, just passed 100k subs), and Donut Media
