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.
If i had to pick my top 2 YouTube channels… Project Farm
Good Mythical Morning
Is Good Mythical Morning still going? I haven’t watched them in years.
Yup, it’s Good mythical summer right now. So 3 episodes a week. But soon it will be back to every weekday. They keep growing their business and I’ve enjoyed watching it. They have multiple crews and websites now. They have several shows that have spawned from GMM, like that have a whole cooking show (different hosts, but they are all entertaining).
Project Farm is neat but I find his videos a bit repetitive. Great resource for finding comparisons of specific things, though.
