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.
DankPods is pretty cool. It’s been on hiatus since late July, but I still cannot get enough of it. If you’re into old electronics, audio and the sort, check it out.
The dude who owns it, Wade Nixon, also owns Garbage Time (fixing cars), The Drum Thing (drums and cymbals), Hello, I’m Gaming (gameplay of cheaply made games) and Dankmus (Simpsons remixes, although this one is much more inactive than the others).
Never knew he had more channels - thanks for sharing!
Wade’s channels have been an absolute gem of a find for me this year. Everything he does is simultaneously informative and cool, but also hilarious. Shoutout to Frank.
Frank, as usual, says nothing.
