I used to pay for this. Started a long time ago, when YouTube’s content was… well, better. But now they’re pushing EVERYTHING towards “Shorts” and it’s pure garbage. Not only does it NOT curate for the people watching it, like how many times do I have to say “not intereste”, “don’t show me this channel anymore,” or just fucking report channels for their “algorithm” to get a clue. AI being spammed left and right, and they claim they can’t do shit about it, meanwhile, you whistle 3 seconds of a Nintendo song and your channel already has a strike against it.
The amount of content farms that’s just pulling crap from reddit, putting dumb pointless videos behind it, while AI reads a made-up story. The amount of content where it’s just some fucker who’s just staring at the screen like a creepy fucker, meanwhile something from the MCU plays in the background… they’re adding nothing. Or the pre-recorded “masked” heads (like Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc.) randomly gesturing at… fuck all.
People used to make things. YouTube had content. Not saying it was all great. Since TikTok got big, I feel like YT chasing after them things started to go downhill. And then “AI” comes out and the quality just fucking tanks.
I don’t pay for YT Premium anymore. PiHole + AdBlock is used everywhere now. And if a YouTuber promotes anything, literally, fuck that product/company as well. Fucking scorch earth on all those fucking advertisers and the algorithm.
