Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

    I have noticed that I don’t click on their videos as fast. Used to be that as soon as you see a video in the feed it was an instant click.

        100%. The recent videos all seem like they’re ragebait (‘alcohol is awesome’ springs to mind).

        They could be good, I haven’t watched them. if they’re targeting people who respond to that tone then it’s not for me.

        It’s a shame. I liked the earlier videos on ant colonies and strange matter and stars and stuff.

          I get the frustration, but it does actually cost money to make content, especially high effort content like this.

          Add on top of that the fact that the people involved need to be able to eat, have a home, provide for their families, have a life.

          People would complain if they were sponsored by some shitty VPN provider or the like, and also complain about them trying to sell merch. I certainly wouldn’t work for free, so I don’t see why they should have to.

          It’s not really that hard to do a couple of key presses to skip ahead, either. It’s what I do.
