  YouTube ruined YouTube

  I swear to god these dumb social media sites are going to hell faster every day.

  I used to like YouTube because I could watch all sorts of interesting things … funny things … informative things … things actually liked

  Now my main YouTube recommended feed is filled with clickbait thumbnails of idiots making surprised or shocked faces to try to get your attention to get you to look at their dumb video of nonsense that has zero information and is not entertaining at all.

    My take’s always been Monetization ruined YouTube.

      Because if theres money to be made then theres a few million idiots that are happy to exploit the fuck out of the system and do essentially fuck all to earn cash.

      But without money, the platform would have sunk.

      It’s a harsh reality that all brilliant internet things have to face.
