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.
The only person I’d trust with finance stuff is Joseph Hogue cuz he doesn’t seem to be a scummy bastard, unlike most others.
Also, I think he’s the only Certified Financial Advisor on YT Link: https://youtube.com/@josephhogue
The only cultural people I follow are The Critical Drinker for film reviews and Better Ideas for inspirational content, also Nate O’Brien for both investment stuff and life advice stuff.
Everything else I follow is tevh-related, and in a niche without a lot of pushy sponsor crap.
