Youtube Megathread | Youtube is on a Downward Spiral

[IkeTheGeneric]

Let's see how this somehow marks me as an idiot, even though it's filled with sensible arguments, points and basic logic.

I don't care how loving "offended" you are, or how much you believe I should leave people alone and stop "View-Shaming" their stuff, if what they're reading are mindless posts, then they deserve the critiques I give them. I'm not saying all this stuff should be gone entirely, but if it's
A. More than half of the content you watch
B. Garners more views than actual effort and good content.
C. The Majority of the Content on the site
There's a loving problem.

To be fair, it isn't entirely the user's fault, it perpetuates this stuff. Anytime someone does something vaguely controversial, the internet flips it's stuff and locks down, forcing everyone to switch to making mindless, repetitive, boring content. It doesn't help that we not only don't listen to the people who are constantly complaining about this, we pretend they are and turn around to stuff in their loving faces. But of course there are the people who will white knight these actions citing "people can do whatever they like, forget off".

if you're one of those starfishs who acts like not giving a stuff about anything and just letting everything go makes you a better person, or cooler. It doesn't. That's the same Social Justice Warrior mindset of telling people to only send "good Criticism" aka compliments. Being a Critic doesn't make you a monster or an elitist starfish, telling others to shut up and let people "watch what they like" is loving hypocritical. The people speaking up are trying to fight to get the content they like back because of several problems currently hindering their goals.

These policies and layout have not only allowed worthless, thoughtless posts to overtake actually interesting and creative content,

Bad content has gotten out of control, not in "immoral ideas" or even "Political bullstuff" but in the completely mindless nonsense, because quite a few people have gotten sick and tired of having to deal with constant starfishs, no doubt including myself, giving them harsh criticisms and other people telling them "they're just mean starfishs, forget em." or saying stuff like "imagine caring". But, what some consider "mean words" are usually people giving genuine criticisms the creators and even users don't want to hear. But listening to these criticisms and using them to improve yourself as a person is what matters, yes sometimes there are bad criticisms and just flat out insults given, but it's up to you, the person receiving these critiques to sift through these and determine which are good, bad and just insults. It's not wise to go "ah forget it, they're all just starfishs", shove fingers in your ears and/or surround yourself with yes-men. Doing things like that NEVER ends well, just look at George Lucas, The writers of TTGO, anygiven TV personality, or the entire democrat party. Cutting yourself off from criticism means purposely putting yourself out of touch, forcing content creators to rely on statistics and strategies to abuse the system and forcing viewers to just suck it up and deal with it.

"But they could just move to -insert alternative site of the week- !"

I tried this, we've all tried this, but whatever the forget else never has and never will be able to take on titans like this site. This site holds a monopoly, a true monopoly. There is not viable alternative, this is what enables them to make stuffty decisions without feeling any of the consequences. They can afford to run everything into the ground, because at the end of the day, and they are still #1. Posters cannot afford to make interesting or thought provoking content in anyway, becaus the site and the various groups grab posters by the balls because they're the ones with actual power, because they were either around in the old days or they abused the system in place to gain the power they have.

"Lol, just abuse the system too then, stupid."

Yeah, you could do that. But then that defeats the purpose of this whole thing, killing stuff posts and getting good posts. That's the goal. No one, loving no one wants to watch the same thread on repeat for years and years, but if nothing better comes along, then options will always remain stale. If you try to make something better come along, they attack you and shuts your ass down. There is no real answer at this point to this problem, but this is a message to anyone who shuts anyone down as soon as they start pointing these flaws out.

You are helping to perpetuate a stagnated state of the internet, with uninteresting content and mindless posts.

If you're hoping that some "hero" will come and fix this stuff one day, it won't happen if you tell everyone who tries to act to "shut up, imagine caring. lol"

It turns out that swapping a few words around to make it a generic rant about the state of ambiguous website makes it copypasta material, who knew?

That'd because you're one of the normies he talks abput, who only think it's "weegee toast pingas dinner".

YTPs are art, just like memes are art.
And YTPs are 5x the art WatchMojo and loving Buzzfeed are.

Then you're not in on the Modern YTP lore.
You're just making classic YTP stuffposts.
