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.
I don’t read books or watch TV shows or watch movies or watch sports.
I watch a ton of educational, engineering, cooking, BMX, woodworking, and retro game channels.
Favorites are:
Oh my. I should stop. There are so many more.
Seconding Technology Connections! That guy really puts a lot of effort into his videos
I never thought I would care even the slightest bit about turn signal solenoids, but I watched the whole hour long video with fascination lol
He kind of rubs me the wrong way after a while though. It feels like he takes himself too seriously sometimes
Good list. A few ones I would add are:
More technical:
I really wish there was a save comment feature because I’m subscribed to about half of those and I need to check the other half out.
At least in sync there is the option to save comments and it works. You can afterwards find the comments in your profile. Not sure if it’s a sync or a Lemmy feature though.
Edit: just checked and it’s actually a Lemmy feature. You can just long press a comment and hit the star to save it.
Thank you for sharing that with me. Learning something new everyday.
