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.

    You absolutely should keep on watching YT. In fact I can specifically highly recommend the channel DukeUnivLibraries. This video with almost 1M views will sway in just the first 15 seconds but you will not be able to peel your eyes away for the entire 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Prepare yourself. Get some popcorn. https://youtu.be/e1iGEM9NMFM
