I pretty much only use YouTube to look up specific clips of things (eg: simpsons clips, bits from movies), the very occasional video game "how do I do this specific thing?", and specific songs i don't have a copy of. I never watch any of its original content. I'm sure some of it is fine, but sturgeon's law says most of it is crap, and there's so much non-crap already on my radar to read/watch/listen to.
So fuck youtube.
There's a couple of channels that I really enjoy on there.
Yeah, fuck YouTube as a platform, but to dismiss the entire content seems a bit whack. But I guess if they're already happy with whatever it is that they're watching, it's OK, I guess.
I don't know if YouTube is full Nazi bar, but it's pretty close. You shouldn't go to the Nazi bar just because they have good cocktails and there are some good performers at the open mic.
Sometimes you have to skip things you like. There's other content and other platforms.
