The beautiful thing about YouTube is that fundamentally, it is still an incredible platform for anyone to be able to create content for the entite world to watch. That is so cool when you really think about it.
However, the horrible thing about YouTube, is the algorithm that is designed to push all sorts of views and opinions onto people, burying all of the actual good content beneath thousands of hours of utter shite and adverts.
If you know where to look, you can still get all the entertainment and information you need from it!
The problem with the youtube algorithm is it’s too specific.
I watch a video that’s some psytrance, and then every video I get when I search for “study music” is psytrance.
