    “Creators are an important part of our community and how people get information and learn about our products today,”

    Oh man, what a great time to be alive. I hate to watch the internet die for 2 decades now. It sickens me.

    Why do people watch these turds? Who cares what some “influencer” does? It’s all fake anyway. And this is where people “get information”? How about Wikipedia? Or some halfway-trustworthy news? Ugh…

      Watching idiots on YouTube act out of fake personas, have fake arguments with other idiots on youtube, and say and do whatever they think will get them the most views and money has become the newest generation of reality tv.

          I honestly wouldn’t lump all of YouTube in the same bag. At the end of the day it’s currently one of the only viable platforms for video-based essays and I personally find a ton of valuable stuff there. That said, one miss-step and your algorithm fills up with the influencer crap, so you gotta tread carefully.
