It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”
Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.
Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I’m start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

Spoken like an average cancel culture enjoyer; especially since this post hasn’t had any activity in like, what, a week? Digging up an old comment to do something like this is something people enjoy for some reason, and I don’t get it. Look for the positives, not the negatives, for God’s sake. There’s too much negativity in this world (which probably won’t change, but I can hope).
Cancel culture? Really? I suppose everything is woke to you too, huh? People that cry about cancel culture are people that don’t want to take responsibility for their words and actions. In other words, douchebags. Guess what, there are consequences to the things you do and say! You don’t just get to say and do whatever you want and then cry about cancel culture when people rightfully end up despising you. Your comment agedlikemilk, don’t be such an insecure little bitch about it.
And many of the issues that I brought up for unsubscribing a month ago, like the conclusion jumping and poor research were the bulk of the GN video. He just saw the benchmark errors whereas I saw the Linux/Android/adblocking misinformation.
And you’re right, it’s only been a few days. But boy oh boy, has it gotten worse over the last little bit as more and more piles on with harassment investigations and learning about the awful rabid LTT fanbase that drove a young boy and his mother to suicide. I wonder what else we’ll end up learning?
But go ahead, keep on simping for your boy Linus, and crying about cancel culture.
Crying? You’re the one getting worked up about it. I just like to spread positivity, and it’s clear that you don’t. Not my problem.
Yeah, anyone that mentions cancel culture is a whiny little bitch in my opinion. And I’m not worked up at all, I feel vindicated in my conclusions if anything. You should reflect on why you got so insecure over an agedlikemilk comment… because you can state that you only like to spread positivity, but that’s not what I’m seeing from you.
Okay, sorry if I misunderstood your tone, but I didn’t get insecure lol. I was just trying to defend the good sides of LTT, despite the drama. Nothing wrong with looking for the positives in a negative situation. And, I still feel that my assumption that you support cancel culture was justified, but disagree with me as you will. Anyways, just a suggestion, but try looking for the positives hidden in the negatives, because I can almost assure you that Linus and his team are trying their best to make things right within the community, and the company. Take that as you will.
Explain to me why if I adamantly oppose someone’s ideology or positions or products that I would continue to subject myself to them? It’s my right to exclude any person or company or product from my life, and it’s my right to inform others of my reasoning. Cancel culture doesn’t actually exist… it’s what people that don’t want to be held accountable use to deflect a given situation. If you say something stupid, and a single person, or even if a group of like-minded people unfollow you… that’s not cancel culture, that’s the rightful consequence of your actions. No one needs to listen to, nor put up with stupid takes. And you can see what my disposition was before this all came out. I didn’t really care this much, I just unsubscribed because I saw how horribly researched and inaccurate his videos and takes were, and that was it. But at this point, seeing who Linus really is, how he has responded to this by deflecting and shirking responsibility. How fucking hypocritical he has been. How he’s tried to play the victim. And all the other things have come out from it now that people can speak up without worrying about all the rabid fans destroying them. I have nothing but contempt and disdain for him as a person, because he has showed his true colors throughout all of this. I don’t want to support anything he does. You might call that cancel culture… I call that having principles and integrity. Because unlike Linus, I live by the words I preach to others.
They are only doing “the right thing” because this is effecting their revenue streams. By Linus’s own words, they were not going to do anything… until they started losing subscribers and people started canceling their floatplane memberships. It’s fine to have a generally positive outlook in life, but don’t let it cloud reality. You may prefer to be blissfully ignorant, but I prefer to understand the truth, even if it does cause pain sometimes.
I don’t think we are going to see eye to eye on this, so I probably won’t continue responding. But I appreciate you coming back with civil discourse nonetheless. Have a nice day.
