I don't mind the ads as much as all the mandatory meta-baiting. Not the MB itself, but the mechanisms behind it.
Even if you produce interesting videos, you still must MB to get the likes, to stay relevant to the algorithm, to capture a bigger share of the limited resource that is human attention.
The creators are fighting each other for land, our eyeballs are the crops, meanwhile the landlord takes most of the profits.
- bobsmooth 1y agoThere is much data to support that asking for likes and subs actually increases likes and subs.
- rollcat 1y agoThat is my entire point. The creators fight each other in a pit, for the Emperor's amusement.
- rurp 1y agoRight, that's the issue. I really doubt that creators love having to spam the same "Don't forget to like/subscribe/comment!" message in every single video they produce, but Youtube forces them to. As a viewer I certainly hate that crap and wish Google didn't intentionally make it this way.
