I’m still standing in my ass

You made some good points and I agree, that YouTube has to make money. It is a business after all. Still some decisions make it shittier than it was before for consumers and creators (imo at least):

I am not a content creator myself, but the current algorithms and model seem to make it hard for new creators to get any attention and monetize their content.

On the other hand, I feel the UX for consumers gets worse, especially since it is harder to find new, widely unknown content. But I don’t know if it is better for subscribers, since I never subscribed.

Still I hope any competitor arises, may it be peer tube or some other platform. But you are probably right, without a big investment that is not going to happen soon.

I agree. YouTube is only running by the fact, that the content creators are only there. If there was another platform with comparable content and creators, i.e. a real competitor, YT would disintegrate immediately.

Conan O’Brien is a gamer though. He also had an appearance in the game “Death Stranding” and knows a lot of people from the industry well. There was even a bit in his show where people were laughing about that although it wasn’t a joke: https://youtu.be/KlMpN26ts7s?si=BC152uAQNcg3a4N6

Still doesn’t take away from this sentence being savage.

Bisher war das nur unanständig und schmutzig, jetzt könnte es Amerika in einen Abgrund stürzen, so lange nicht beide Kandidaten – also auch Trump – Gewalt in jeder Form ächten und zur Besonnenheit aufrufen – am besten sogar gemeinsam.

Das wird niemals passieren. Das würde nicht ins Trumps narrativ passen. Das wird ausgenutzt werden mit “jetzt erst Recht!”-Parolen.

What’s killing me is that Scott Manley viewers watch this channel.
