I tire of this.
I tire of all the corpo nonsense.
Take me back to 2011 YT. I'd rather just have dumb kids acting cringe than all of these genuinely heartless douche-tubers and content farms festering every nook and cranny.
And as usual, thank god for Invidious and Piped. I was getting worried I might actually lose them over the past two months, but things have gotten (if only a teeny tiny bit) better.
Google needs to die. This is non-negotiable.

These decisions Youtube makes seem tailor-made to cater to content farms for some reason. Content farms that, among other things, love to push out Misinformation.
I don’t know how to put this, but, I’m thinking there needs to be some sort of official investigation into this matter or something.

Perhaps all this happening is just Youtube’s management being stupid, but my brain just refuses to believe that it’s possible to be this stupid without some sort of plan.

Sorry but Youtube was enshittifying even back in 2011. Just ask anyone around that time.

That might be true, but 2013 and onwards was when things really started to drop off a cliff (admittedly I wasn't old enough to notice it until 2015).

Everything seems pointed towards blinding the consumer into not knowing what they are going to take it. I swear, food companies would remove ingredients and allergen warnings if given an inch to do so.
