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.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I’m start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

    Just here to mention Techmoan. I think he deserves a lot more love for his attention to detail and his excelent production.

      If you enjoy Techmoan you may also enjoy Cathode Ray Dude and Technology Connections.

      I’m sad that he gave up the puppets, those bits always made me laugh in a “lame dad joke” sort of way.

      Flippin’ 'Eck!
