Finally, completely useless in 2024. There are WAY too many ads. But also agreed is the fall off was some where around 2016, to punish people for voting Trump, too many A.I generated video and voices. Actually rare to see video made in human flesh anymore, lazy A.I grifters have taken over with woke PowerPoint presentations. And if they are in the flesh, YouTubers have become salesmen and saleswomen, "today's sponsor is Manscaped" or "buy my merch" actually detracting attention away from the core topic. What's left of "YouTubers" is no longer happy go lucky hobbyists, just corporate shills and marketing shells, looking at the audience the way a farmer dribbles over his herd of cows, waiting to milk them by the gallon, just can't enough squeeze on their audience.Topic matter itself is carefully curated, just the way you can expect to conduct your free speech within the workplace. It's no longer "fun" all the fun has been sidelined for quick cash grabs such as sign up to my page, buy my membership, keep buying into oblivion and fulfill your consumerist role in society, like a good little normie.The removal of Andrew Tate and subsequent "punishment" of him and attack on masculinity in 2022 shows the full doom spiral into the financial hole of turbulent oblivion. YouTube as a website has been wokeified, cleansed of sanity and common sense. Bot comments and copy cat comments (everyone parrots the same annoying comment repeatedly) comments that are petty about irrelevant, unnoticeable details, polished and pruned opinions free from creativity or real expression and creators setting the crappy corporate standards of mediocrity and unimaginative equipment choices such as the ugly Shure SM7B Microphone, Rainbow LED lighting, and obviously a few million dollars in budgetWhat used to be a happy go lucky website and honest users turned into a place to flaunt wealth, beg for wealth, sacrifice quality to obtain wealth through the ridiculous number of ads, suppressing "undesirable" channels that don't have a massive budget and turning into a place where TV clips run rampant, Only rich YouTubers can get richer and crappy woke Ai content (can't emphasise that enough) thrives.Honestly nothing is good anymore, I'm so annoyed with the new type of youtuber to be popular on there in 2024 is everything I have come to despise about the human race. All of the 7 sins are celebrated here. If you have any self respect, don't do clickbair, aren't gagging for attention, you will be lucky to get 500 views per video.The website sucks, users suck, creators suck, companies suck. Nothing is likeable anymore, at least not for me.
