    it’s a type of entertainment, like watching tv or Netflix. that much i can understand. mainly because i mostly use it for those reasons, but i just follow particular creators. just each time you go there you get some complete bs suggestions, which are always clickbait. on top recently a lot of that “content” is so obvious to be entirely ai generated. the yt algorithm just sucks. at least for me… but somehow that is how a lot of ppl earn their livelihood.

      Most of it absolute bullshit designed to piss people off… Hell even a lot of the “how to” videos contain a lot of rage bait. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a mechanic doing something obviously wrong (and stupid) to generate “engagement” in the comments…

      So yeah, I go look something up like how to install a car wrap (last night’s video).

      One guy was obviously a moron, skipped it. Next guy kind of seemed to know what he was doing. Then I was done.

      Maybe if it’s an exceptionally good video I’ll give it a like, but I never comment and I NEVER subscribe. And when I’m done, I close the window.
