That's the other big problem IMHO, all of the content is being compressed and converted to a very pro corporate consumerist culture view. Don't talk negatively, don't use bad words, don't ruffle any feathers, or you'll lose whatever pittance you're getting.
This is doubly weird because YouTube has always had (and still has) one of the most atrociously toxic comments sections on the Internet.
- roceasta 9y agoYes: censorship and ads. Both inevitable I suppose, but irksome in the extreme. For instance, it's getting harder to find content by speakers I follow due to repackaging and re-uploading of their older content for ad revenue by third parties.
- userbinator 9y agoThis is doubly weird because YouTube has always had (and still has) one of the most atrociously toxic comments sections on the Internet. Comments aren't monetised content, however; which makes them, in some sense, rather more honest and genuine. We'd see something very different if people were posting comments to be monetised in some way or another (although I can't see how that could ever happen.)
