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.

You need to separate the “what’s doable” fun “what works out of the box”, it’s the latter that can fall down for most people and the second you have to open as terminal, you’ve lost the audience that we’re talking about.
I didn’t get into to the specifics of what was wrong with that video, but there was a lot wrong with it and some of it was framing. When a video annoys me every couple minutes because it’s inaccurate then I’m obviously going to be put off by it. And that was the case for that video.
