youtube? the place with free quality documentaries, free knowledge in the easiest to digest video form about a huge variety of topics? the spot where you can learn life skills, cooking, hobbies, maths, physics, programming, among many others, with visualised tutorials showing every part of every step with explenations?

what on earth is happening to the internet these days? absolute insanity

social media is shit and i get restricting twitter or tiktok, but youtube? it seems so bizarre to me

There's a lot of really bad slop on YouTube. Your algorithm might be curated to "documentaries", but that's far from the norm

it's mostly "curated" to long form video essays about random bullshit, but i see your point
