OMG, I don't usually quote images but I have to comment on this one. Not only is it true, but the montage of thumbnails perfectly encapsulates what Youtube has become--and as I think I've mentioned in a previous post, you can find idiotic clickbait-y thumbnails like that for videos on a vast array of topics. Youtube started as a cool, homegrown video site....and now everyone has paid sponsors and/or is paid by Youtube, and everyone is following their ever-changing and always stricter rules on the type of content that can be uploaded. It's turned into a site where the videos are the equivalent of typing in all caps, with everyone screaming for clicks and attention.

Oh, and by the way don't forget to smash that like button and hit subscribe if you want more content like this. It really helps out the channel....blah fucking blah blah.

I wanted info on two things today: DeFi projects and the state of ETH 2.0. I searched Youtube and found results that look like those thumbs above and only one useful video on the latter. This sort of makes me wonder if bitcointalk's Youtube channel is going to conform to the current standard of carbon copy videos or, if it doesn't, how in the world is it going to attract attention on a site where the worst content is the most heavily promoted.

I suppose if we ever see another video, we'll find out.

there is just no beating them today for they are like the army of memes trying to get many views for the sponsors who paid them. things change over time and while it was more decent in the past, today there is no educational value but just pure entertainment. i remember an episode of max keiser and stacy laughing at these influencers on youtube who opens thier mouth widely.

but i suppose the new generations can always look up to search andreas antonop. they learn blockchain in school too. that's why the new traders today concentrate more on crypto through these shills on youtube. never in their lives tried gold or solver before.
