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.

    Your comment about finance videos has nothing to do with YouTube at all. That’s literally the entire industry. Both my dad and myself have worked in finance and it’s been that way as long as I can remember. YouTube is good for educational science content, car stuff, and video game stuff. Keep politics, finance, and any sort of channels who can only stay in business by churning out new idea after new idea off of your list.
