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.

    What they said is that the devices are rooted and they didn’t vet the products for malware. So given that most of them were rooted, it’s fair to assume that most others would be too and would also be at risk of malware.

        Because the way these products are manufactured in China is basically like ordering off Etsy. You can’t trust random people 10000 miles away to have your best interests at heart.

            dude, don’t order unaudited tech and put it on your network LOL.

            Also, does this inversely imply that we can trust the products made by American companies? Because if so, that’s an equally ignorant position.

            there is this really cool place called a court, and i can sue people there for selling me deliberately malicious products. if the company is not in the US, i can’t do that.

                    And thus you have given the exact same sentiment they have. Congratulations you agree that these devices are possibly dangerous to your personal information and should not be used until proven otherwise. That is what they said and it’s the first thing I told you they said.
