I agree, well said. I have many YouTube channels I follow with very high quality fantastic people and content. Some really good stuff being made.
Personally, I don’t really venture into the YouTube neighborhoods where these people are stars, but it is a big vast place and an open platform for almost anyone.
While I enjoy YouTube, their in-video Ads ARE THE WORST and so annoying, too frequent, repetitive, and intrusive and degrading to the watching experience. Also their comment sections for some reason attract the worst people online and are an abysmal representation of humanity. lol.
