Does anyone really use youtube these days anyway? Its gone from a site where you might discover new and interesting things to a site full of clickbait trash and ads for other trash. Its gotten the point where if i see that a video i might otherwise watch is hosted on youtube, i just scroll past because I cant be bothered dealing with their site.
I'd be quite happy for it to just die off at this stage.
I use it to find content on hobbies I pursue. I have zero clickbait stuff.
I too mostly use it at this point to follow creators, hobby stuff still lives almost exclusively on Youtube for now
well it's just that there's a lot of good content creators on there
Yes. People still use YouTube. You can tell by the fact that this post and tons like it exist.
How am I supposed to catch max0r's next video about John videogame?
Lol yes it's one of the largest websites on the internet. Hundreds of millions of unique users browse it a month and due to the fact that anyone can upload to it the site is LOADED with unique, insightful, creative, and informative content.
If you cant find good content on youtube it's probably more a you problem.
I find lots of entertainment in silly stuff, like debates about the earth being flat or not. As it turns out, the planet Earth might be an oblate spheroid. Who knew?!
Just because you don't find anything of use to you, and keep clicking the click bait so it recommends more clickbait, doesn't mean nobody else uses the site. I like to have silly shit running in the background while I work. Maybe you listen to music instead? It's not like we all have to like the same things.
