It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

A lot of great recommendations in the tread and I don't have much to add but for something a little different, here are my suggestions :

DayDream Gaming - Cool and/or relaxing walks through game worlds like Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, horseback riding in RDR, etc.

dulevoz - Cabview train rides full of cool details like the number of tunnels, elevation, engine types, etc. You don't need to be a train nerd, try it, it's absolutely fantastic and relaxing!

Virtual Railfan - Live cams at famous railroad crossings, just for the fun of watching trains go by or watch the scenery

StreamTime Live - live cams at various harbours in the US

M. B. Archives - Commentary tracks from various movies (the latest being The French Connection, rip William Friedkin)
