At my 20s I just realised how useless YouTube is for me… Only few comedy channels actually gave me anything in return of my time.
I used YouTube for so long mainly with NewPipe client which has become unstable for me. And I no longer feel like dedicating a browser or using invidious to consume it.
I mainly watched tech and comedy channels and podcasts. I do continue listening some podcasts via RSS… Most channels are just advertisements and memes like waste of time…
This post is about how youtube as a platform in just about every way is bad and how I wish I could get the time spent back.
I currently spend lots of time on YouTube, mainly educational channels. I should subscribe to nebula really. YouTube is very good at knowing what I want to watch and that is probably a big reason I am staying.
If you want youtube to feel less addictive, I’d recommend watching through invidious or freetube.
