Yeah YouTube monetizes anything with a drama clickbait title, ghost-dick-in-the-mouth-face, red arrow and circle bullshit. But then again, people click on it, so it’s our own fault. It’s just like that seo crap, people fall for it and rotten people know how to game the system.
“These people used as much visual manipulation as they could cram into this photo/title to get people to click on it. It’s the fault of those being manipulated that it’s being clicked on”
You’ve got a point. However I believe a good amount of people are intelligent enough to see through the ruse, yet endulge in it, in a fastfood kind of way. Oh, I don’t know. Don’t read into it too much, I’m just ranting a bit, because I find the whole thing annoying.
No worries, I agree that it’s annoying. But it’s the algorithm that makes that all but inevitable, it’s not a failure of any individual or group of individuals. It’s the failure of capitalism, tbh.
I’m neurodivergent, so I’m already parsing language in a strange way. So, when I come across this type of contradictory statements, I like to point them out.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

At least we stopped blaming rape victims, but we still need to blame scammers for the scum that they are.
I’ve switched to either Invidious or Piped so I avoid most of those problems.
Basically every Ali-A video.
