yay now you have to watch the whole video to tell if it’s a scam/troll/shitty tutorial, at least capeshit movie trailers won’t be downvoted anymore
There is so much useful information on Youtube that it’s basically impossible. You can stop watching Youtube for entertainment, sure. But it’d be terrible to give up all of the tutorial videos, educational videos, technical videos, etc. For that there is basically no replacement.
This consolidation of the entire internet into just a few websites has really ruined something that used to be a treasure. Now a giant portion of the collective public consciousness is at the mercy of a few companies.
Just another example of how capitalism can’t even deliver on its main promise that competition drives innovation. Under capitalism competition is like entropy. It can only trend down as the wealth concentrates into the hands of a few major companies and monopolies form.
Edit: I realize entropy trends up. you get what I mean, though
