This is a bad take. There’s a lot of genuinely good content on YouTube, it’s just that band content tends to get more attention. Even with the bad content, that’s not a reason for YouTube to “die for good.” Just because you have to spend more time seeking out good content doesn’t make the platform invaluable.

I can easily see having to spend more time seeking content resulting in the platform no longer being valuable.
- prepend 3y agoOf course there’s good content on YouTube, but the vast majority is crap or even anti-content and YouTube pushes bad content with its algorithm. I think it’s a function of preferring longer content to show more ads so what was once a 4 minute read blog post is now a 15 minute video that meanders around and around killing time. People watch it, very much, so it’s not YouTube’s fault entirely. But I wish they would incentivize valuable content over chaff. I think there’s a lot of bloat wastage that exists only because YouTube pays more and encourages it.
