That’s the problem. Everything has to be monetized. Maybe I’m old and nostalgic, but I remember at the beginning of 2000s (and even before), “creators” were just people wanting to share their hobbies/opinions/passions/whatever. They had their own website (later, blogs), with, as most, contextual banners on them or donations links, whatever… Now it’s just unnecessarily long, time wasting videos full of ads or sponsored segments, clickbaity titles, ridiculous thumbnails on corporate services fulls of ads and tracking… For the life of me, I can’t understand people watching hours and hours of “content” everyday. There’s some kind of addiction going on.I can barely stand 2-3 videos per year, and only skipping to the relevant parts if they’re really interesting tutorials. On the contrary, I could spend literally hours jumping for link to link on, for instance, Wikipedia. Reading is much more convenient and less annoying…
