Oh no, I will have to do something useful with my time instead of watching 100 viral and algorithmically selected videos designed to enrage me -- one after each other. WHAT WILL I DO
edit stir up shit here I guess
Not all of us watch bullshit and drama on YouTube. There is good science and engineering content on there.
If you're primarily interested in the science and engineering content, nebula is a wonderful platform where membership fees directly support content creators.
one way to look at it is a blessing in disguise. instead of dissociating with YT, now you have all this time to figure out who you actually are and then become that thing. i imagine it's more rewarding than passively watching YT.
Because hobbies don't exist? Only jobs?
figuring out who you are isn't specifically career related. it's whoever you are. the focus here is doing/being authentic. authenticity isn't a passive activity.
there are other options available for entertainment, like tubi and pluto.
It sounds like you algorithmically encourage this content too
No, I'm the victim here, helpless to do anything but click click click
