Maybe free speech/creation spaces are moving away from massively capitalistic oriented spaces.
Because in the end, the search for maximization of profits may not be the best way to achieve creativity.
For a time, and I still think that somehow it's the case right now, a lot of creativity can be found on: TikTok, some Discord servers, etc. etc.
But clearly, Youtube feels like TV in a way: a bunch of "professional" people rehashing the same concepts over and over: over-produced fiction, gaming stuff, react-stuff, beauty stuff, etc.
The only thing that I currently value Youtube for is the access to science stuff: 3 blue 1 brown, Veritasium, etc. etc.
Oh also Youtube has become the home for the cancer of tutorial: the video tutorials. Why cancer? Because reading is faster, searchable, indexable, etc.

Because reading is faster, searchable, indexable, etc. Reading may be faster for a lot of things, but there are instances where nothing beats a video - one of them is any sort of tutorial for a GUI program like Photoshop, Premiere, IntelliJ or whatever. A written tutorial either assumes the user knows exactly what the "lasso tool" is and how to select it (and so is useless for novices) or it assumes "know nothing" and so is excessively verbose for people above the "barely novice" level. With a well made video tutorial, both a complete novice and an expert can find value, simply because all the verbose description can be seen in action on the screen.
