Honestly debatable. I’ve seen more and more good channels depart or stop posting, or others gradually turn into “react” content channels that only discuss tiktok drama or politics. Even so-called Breadtube for smaller channels has become synonymous with that embedded stereotype.
I compared a screenshot I took of my subscriptions feed from a year ago to now and was startled by the amount of change in incendiary content. It’s like the definition of doomscrolling.
I used to spend over 4 hours a day on youtube just watching video essays and skit comedy, but now I split most of that time across writing, itch.io, and catching up on anime. I have so much more free time I finally decided to start One Piece lmao (might try finishing Bleach too)

I haven’t watched an ad on YouTube in years.
