  • I mean, you might be older than me but I doubt it :)

    I remember when YouTube was cool, before Google bought it. But at this point that was a relatively short time period. I know they bought it to make money and that’s not even necessarily the worst thing. My main issue with Google regarding YouTube is the slow enshittification of it. I remember when there was either no ad, or a 5-7 second single ad for a whole video. Those days are way gone though.


  • I think people have two problems with YouTube. 1 it is Google and therefore monumentally evil. 2 they started the service as free then enshittified it slowly. It’s not like they just added a few ads then left it alone. They have relentlessly added more and more ads to the point it’s disgusting. I think if it was always one way or the other, it would get far less hate. Me personally, I probably need about 30 minutes of YouTube per month. I’m damned sure not paying for that and due to said ads getting worse and worse, I’m using an ad blocker for sure.


  • Language is imprecise. What I’m saying is that I have known many, many boomers who actively do not give a shit about their fellow citizens. Millennials tend to give a shit. Be pedantic about it if you will, but I’ve no doubt that if such a study existed to measure this, there would be data to back up what I’m saying. I do not wish to enter into an argument about this or the words I used. I think my point is a fair one and many people have noticed the same trend.

    Fucking yikes…

    conservative/Christian

    Now it makes sense.

    I don’t even know what conservative means here but if it means you’re a fascist, I wish you the absolute worst. If you are an actual Christian which would mean putting kindness to your neighbor above all else then only some jerks would have a problem with you. But that’s likely not what it means. It likely means you spend a good deal of energy judging and hating lgbt people. Feel free to correct me. I don’t know you, but I do know that in some sense at least at one point you could be a good person and say you’re a conservative Christian, but currently there’s about a 97% correlation between being a Nazi trash person and being a “conservative Christian”.
