I stopped watching YT when they upped the numbers of ads last year. I don’t think I miss anything. I am actually thankful that Google did that. The YT algorithm is targeted towards making you waste your time. It’s addictive in the worst way possible.

Content quality has been on a downward trend for years now and the introduction of shorts have made things even worse. People seem to be reusing TikTok videos a lot which are basically content devoid of actual content.

What’s supposedly so ubiquitous on YT that you believe you can’t do without?
