Pour one out for the youtubers that chased the algorithm away from what you enjoy. (lemmy.world)

Boo I love stupid challenge videos and feels like so many youtubers burn themselves out and so cut back to trash as a result.

Stupid algo that rewards garbage and won't reward creators who spend the time. Like they make a 30 minute video of talking and will get as much reach as a 20 minute video that took weeks of work. Like just to get their own subs to see their vids they have to play games, and the algo loves the trash.

As much as it is "the algorithm's fault", I also blame humans for being, broadly speaking, incredibly dumb and with bad taste. Whenever I happen upon the "what's popular" view, it's filled to the brim with everything void of anything thoughtful.

I mean you say that, but top movies are usually high quality big budget. Where it was thousands of professionals doing their best with state od the art tech.

Best books are generally pay off from authors who have been working tirelessly for decades.

Best comics are veterans that almost everyone agrees are funny a big part of the time.

Then we get to youtube where we have enormous content creators that are just reacting to tik toks. So I blame the algo.
