YouTube has gone drastically downhill in the past year. It had been going downhill for a while, but it is basically an ad platform with terrible content now.

Plenty of good content on youtube. And even in the earlier days, a lot of content was terrible. Shaky home videos of some mom's backyard? Yup.

What grinds my gears is the ads and the shorts. Fuck them both.
