Nothing personal.
If the mods 404 this shit, then they need to do the same with all e-celeb threads as well

OP here, sorry wrong picture.
You're right, but without Youtube there would be no Tiktok.
bullshit
Only way to stop either was destroy the internet.
Well to be fair, Youtube then Vine then Tiktok. People forget that Vine ever existed and it did the short video thing before.
for the longest time the youtube algo has preferred videos that are at least 10 minutes long.
is the real culprit.
This. The vast vast majority of YouTube watching is passive viewing of longer videos or music. The monetization, if anything, has only encouraged longer videos since its inception, not shorter ones.
TikTok is absolutely the culprit you're looking for.
In terms of ruining attention spans, Tiktok is absolutely shit. Idk why it has to be one or the other. Both sites are shit.
Youtube, shit like
has fricked up the thinking. It's a den of Dunning-Kruger types speaking on subjects they don't know shit about. At least people on Dik-cok have fun.
>Dunning-Kruger pop sci buzzword
yeah you need to rope yourself with the others.
Nice quads, but if you think it's a pop sci buzzword you need to read more books. Just log off of Cinemaphile bro.
What books on the Dunning-Kruger effect have you read?
I've heard s o y guzzlers use it.
it just made the inevitable faster. culture shapes things, not technology which eases things
Have we all really forgotten about Vine already? What the frick
China quickly replaced Vine with TikTok. Which is why it’s sometimes called Chinese Vine.
I never fricking watched vines
I watch TikTok
At least vines had the good sense to end quickly
Vines was a cool dudebro outlet to share skits and fails. Tiktok just is lip-syncing and content of the lowest effort
It actually started with tumblr and facebook, but Instagram did most of the damage. The app is literally made to scroll short content for eternity.
I can't believe normoids are content with scrolling instagram when every third post or so is an ad
I guess after some time your brain just filters them. I visit instagram at least every week and don't remember seeing ads in a very long time.
They both suck.
>youtube
>tens if not hours long vids
tik tok ruined everything not youtube
And I'm sure there are 200,000 sycophantic autists in the world willing to watch those videos. Like bro, just watch Sátántangó
idk, 9.7 million views is pretty damn impressive
I never watched that video but my friend did and recommended the show to me because of it. I would have probably never have heard of that show without youtube shilling. But watching some eceleb talk about the show instead of watching it yourself seems like a worse experience to me.
The British version is fricking trash.
-handedly ruins attention spans
It really is a shame all those multi hour long podcasts, documentaries, and analysis videos I watch have ruined my attention span.
youtube was good in the beginning when money wasn't involved and creators did what they did for fun.
then money came in and it started to fall.
as for tiktok it always has been shit.
Vlogs >>>>>>> Video essays/commentary channels
Attention span isn't the problem. It's that people want to watch pointless trash. There is no difference between a 15 second meme video and a 7 hour video game analysis video, a 2 hour pseudointellectual podcast, or a 20 episode tv show review.
Yep. I'd even go as far to say frick critics in general. Rest in pieces Ebert and Siskel.
>reaction videos where people literally talk through songs and movie trailers while commenting on them
Doesn't matter because they have nothing to say. Even the "music producer reacts to song" videos are empty because they weren't there. They just read interviews/wikipedia articles and quote what they've "researched"
>reaction videos where people literally talk through songs and movie trailers while commenting on them
>"THUMBS UP AND SUBSCRIBE!"
How about quit whoring for thumbs up and subscriptions? If people like your shit, they'll do that on their own without being constantly harassed for it
>review videos because we gotta know the opinions of strangers on candy, clothes, perfume we can't even fricking smell, and everything else
>reaction-face thumbnails
>game walkthroughs where they have to self-insert to let you know it's them playing while they non-stop run their fricking motormouths.
The only thing good about Youtube is that it's the new "MTV" with all the music videos.
Off topic (kind of, that person is discreetly hidden in one of these pictured thumbnails), but is it more pathetic to have a 3D waifu than a 2D waifu? On the basis that they actually are real and everything?
In 2022, going your own way will lead to a happier result. Never marry, and if you reproduce, get all the legal stuff worked out so alimony doesn't frick you
I hate reaction content. Largely because it's just a... well, reaction. If it's giving some analysis, that's generally fine, but watching someone simply go mouth agape and emotional is boring.
I hate "content creators" a vapid oxymoronic phrase
The terms "toxic", "content creator" and "influencer" signified the death of the internet
The concept of a “toxic relationship” existed before YouTube ever did.
The term toxic itself didn't really get any widespread usage because it sounds so gay and effeminate
This. Toxic as a synonym for mean was nonexistent before like 2014, nobody said that shit. Toxic gamers, toxic relationships, etc. It's a fricking meaningless buzzword for people who want to pretend that everyone but them is awful without having to actually explain what makes them awful.
No, Chelsea, your relationship is not "toxic" because your boyfriend got angry when you brought up the idea of fricking other men. No, troony, League of Legends isn't "toxic" because nobody puts up with you screeching about being a woman while sounding like a man.
It isn't oxymoronic.
Also I forgot to add clickbait content, like "HERE'S WHY RICHARD RAWLINS IS BROKE" only to find he's not broke, and is still rich, or "HERE'S PICS OF A NEW PLANET DISCOVERED" only for it to be a 20-minute vid loaded with 19 minutes of fluff before they get to the fricking point.
the reason they spam all that stupid shit is because it works...i feel like that's the depressing part.most people are just fricking moronic sheep
There was an odd innocence with YouTube in 2006. Watching those videos now and getting a good glimpse of 00s suburbia, it’s oddly heartwarming. By and large it’s been shit since 2014 though.
There used to be a "download" button to click so anything that was there was yours. It's long-gone now.
They still have that feature
You just have to buy their subscription service
They purged a lot of old videos I think
And it was either:
>They we’re infringing copyright for like three seconds
>They weren’t woke enough
>They weren’t “kid friendly” enough
>Other idiocy
The kid friendly thing really kills a lot of the site. They're trying to appease concerned parents who are too lazy to watch their kids' internet usage, and in the process they're becoming more censored than TV.
>15 years old
Yep. in around 2008 they implemented an algorithm to check for copyright content and nudity/gore. And since most of the content from 2005-2006 was MTV or anime tv recordings, a ton of videos were affected. They're "blocked" (or privated).
Interesting fact about the nudity/gore checker algorithm was that it was often wrong. It would delete videos which infract no rules for 0 reason.
Youtube has just been going more and more to shit. I like to think the nail in the coffin was when Google bought it out around 2010/2011. Around 2013 was the removal of customizable profile pages, messaging, and several other features. That's when many youtubers jumped ship.
I remember when people could do video replying not just text.
I've noticed a VERY steep decline since the mid or late 2010s as well. I remember seeing a whole lot more nudity and edgy stuff c. 2013, including entire playlists lol
>I like to think the nail in the coffin was when Google bought it out around 2010/2011.
Google bought Youtube like less than a year into its existence ~2006.
Ah, I'm thinking of the gmail migration then, which was around 2011. Apologies
Youtube poop required suburb kids to actually learn how to use a computer by downloading/utilizing sony vegas to assemble a video. Going on Yoshiart.com to get mama luigi clips lol
I miss annotations
>Don't pause the video, it's a trap D:
>TFW The Annotated Experiment is dead and gone
On the PC it's alright due to adblock, BUT on a smartTV it's fricking rage. The ads slow everything down, and even routinely crash the TV while loading. It's funny how my TV can handle long-ass 2+ hour vids in 4k with no prob, but the 15-to-30-second ads routinely crash. I wish they'd fix that problem, but instead they're shoving in more ad interruptions which only amplifies it.
Sorry bud, you gotta pay google for adblocker.
Guess the TV ain't so smart then huh fricker?
maybe the tv is too smart
I have adblock on my pc and youtube vanced on my phone, my blood boils every time i use the youtube app on my tv and get 2 unskippable ads before every single video
It used to be creative. People made what they wanted and people watched what interests them. Now its dollar chasing inorganic, lowest common denominator trash, and Bill Hicks was right about marketing and advertising.
Tell the truth. It used to be ghetto fight videos and weaboo AMVs set to Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.
Both are true. It was a better time.
>weaboo AMVs set to Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.
All those moments will be lost...in time...
Never forget that one DBZ AMV with sound bites from 9/11 and Crawling by Linkin Park in the background.
Early YouTube, much like early internet, was peak SOVL and kino
Until the greedy capitalist and NPC normalscum descended onto it
Same with videogames
It got ruined the second they monetised the big creators and you had vapid vlogs (Shaycarl, iJustine etc.) shitting out hundreds of lowest common denominator videos every day. Peak Youtube OC is when you had moronic teenagers making awful zero budget sketches.
Awful in the best way.
I’m in love with a YouTuber
>people who watch movies aren't NPC
It gives a job to a lot of autists like you. You should try it.
TEST YOUR MIGHT
Based/keyed/flushed/whatever
I don't respect people that pass judgement on other people's work (especially if it's all negative and slathered in irony) and pass it off as content.
At the end of the day I don't care about the overall quality of youtube as a platform, I know what I like (DIY things and animal videos), and i'm very strict with the "not interested" button so I only really see what i'm interested in.
Also, turning thumbnails off using a firefox extension ensures you won't have to see the visual vomit, you guys should try it.
This is why I can't bring myself to learn programming. Working for some tech company who actively tries to destroy the world is absolutely demotivating.
I'm learning programming but I'll absolutely not work for the bug corpos.
Do you gays not remember ebaumsworld or various other multimedia sites that existed at the time? Not to mention various competitors that sprung up and forever played second fiddle to YT especially once google bought them. It was an inevitability as tv was brought to the internet in some form or another, and youtube is just a form of amateur television. Get a grip
>Single-handedly ruins attention spans, gives failures a "creative" outlet, creates an NPC mindset among viewers who would rather watch a random homosexual than an actual movie, inspires shitholes like twitch, and plagues the Cinemaphile board
YouTube from 06-09 was so fricking based tho you had to be there
YouTube is a great platform and I will always defend it.
The biggest problem is not the site itself, but the creators and the people who watch it. This site is fricking amazing. Giving voices to people all across the planet. I've seen things my parents wouldn't even dream of seeing. I've saw masters of the film industry talk about their works for absolutely free in my pajamas, I've seen new music styles that I couldn't have acess otherwise.
YouTube is FANTASTIC you people keep promoting garbage.
The idea of the platform is great the problem is the focus more on corporations and advertising and algorithm manipulations.
>Giving voices to
useful idiots, at best
>Melody sheep
>Two minute paper
>Felix coolgrave
>Max cooper
>Woodkid
>Journey to the microcosmos
Are not useful idiots
I have no idea who these narcissistic homosexuals are
and that's a good thing
Because that's your idea of what a YouTuber is.
A narcissist homosexual.
YouTube will keep having garbage because you people only know about that.
the mere idea of c**ts filming themselves for the whole world makes them narcissists, yes
and all homosexualry stems from narcissism, always, no exception
anons are the antithesis of narcissistic homosexuals, by essence
the narcissistic homosexual fears the anon
Well, none of the people I mentioned film themselves. Only two minute papers do voiceovers.
still don't know who they are
still don't care
still a good thing
But at least you see that YOU are the problem?
no, because I'm not a narcissistic homosexual
nor do I enable them
Like talking to a brick wall.
Just keep complaining then
the mere existence of israelitetube enables narcissistic homosexuals, you Black personwits
it shall be destroyed
simple as
midwit detected
The recommendation algo sucks so fricking hard now I hardly ever open it on my phone anymore
I watch youtube on my phone via firefox and ublock origin and at least it kills the freaking advertising. Never use the app
Worst thing that’s happened to the site in a long time
I know that nobody probably cares, but Shorts killed the market for subs accounts. You can get 100k subs easily by spamming shorts now, so easily that everyone has one.
Such a shameless, obvious way of copying tik tok
That's the internet in general. If it wasn't youtube it would have been somewhere else
Youtube brought the "idiot box" concept online. TV had already been dealing with "tv for idiots" for a long time before and after the massive amount of reality shows every channel started having. Even educational channels started having stupid reality tv shows. Youtube didn't do anything new. Vlogs, reviews, educational, gameplay and entertainment shows where already a thing on tv, it just went online, and became segregated. Now Tik Tok is really moving the bar towards a lower attention spam, and literally just needing to bounce your ass to become famous.
i'm actually astonished at how shit youtube recommendations are now. it wasn't this bad even a few years ago. thumbnails and titles are now abhorrent as well, like people are competing to create the most obnoxious clickbait that can exist. it's difficult to find good channels anymore that haven't sold their integrity and don't clickbait
They've pretty much entirely abandoned it to the neural network algorithms to maximize views and profit regardless of any accuracy or peoples' wishes.
>watch one karen video
>every recommendation is now a Karen gets what she deserves video with a thumbnail of some lady getting power bombed or run over with a car
I know clickbait has aways been around, but I've never seen them to this extent before with blatantly misleading titles and some crazy image for the thumbnail.
>karen gets pinned to the ground and gang raped by a pack of feral somalians.
This one seemed a bit too graphic for the site.
*Destroys everything good about the site*
Look at her hand and forehead you can see where the spray tan ends kek
Smart Phones ruined everything
They have removed every trace of SOUL at this point that old Youtube had
Every color in that page was customizable by the channel owner. Backgrounds, fonts, titles... Pure soul.
SOCIAL MEDIA BAD
i use it to help work on my car
Early wild west YouTube was kino. Now every video is the same shit. Nothing actually creative anymore. Just F level garbage media that makes straight to redbox schlock look like high art. It's disgusting what commercialization does to creativity.
youtube "essays" are the peak of midwit shit and you can't talk about video games or movies without a bunch of morons giving opinions they got from some guy on youtube at this point
You are a total fricking moron because twitch came out before YouTube as justin.tv and those gays were always drinking they're mitin dew and ignoring YouTube.
YouTube didn't ruin anyone attention span cell phones did, and people aren't watching YouTube video on they're phone they are shit posting on Facebook or where-ever like tik tok, which isnt even available on PC for no reason.
Viewers have always had an NPC mindset, have we forgotten to gorge lucas and his fans?
you mean the site that is mainly just a vehicle for long form podcast clips?
whatever, man.
One of the worst things I’ve seen in my life
It's not the same as old youtube, but I still browse z0r from time to time to get my dose of nostalgia. It's also an interesting time travel machine, people are still loading stuff up today
z0r?
z0r.de, it's a collection of flash animations that started around 2006 if I'm not mistaken. Was also my first contact with chan culture before I ever came into contact with chans.
I had completely forgotten that site
These three have provided me as much entertainment as any movie or tv show.
LOOK HERE!
LOOK LISTEN!
>Oh no, a creative platform nearly anyone can do, isn't controlled by ~~*them*~~, and can lead you to fame and wealth.
HOW HORRIBLE!!!?
>pewdzoomer defends tech corporations that are responsible for the death of the internet
im not even a pewdiepie fan but the fact he was able to become one of the richest youtubers on the planet completely by creating his own content by himself is fricking amazing.
and if you dont think that is cool you're probably a moron.
Youtube is getting shittier but the fact it still is an outlet for an individual to create shit they are interested in is amazing.
I'm not going to shit on Youtube when there is content on it more entertaining than the shit hollywood is pumping out and regurgitating
>he was able to become one of the richest youtubers on the planet completely by creating his own content
>reviewing reddit maymays and reacting to fotm is good content
good lord at least shill an actually good youtuber if you want to prove your point. I get what you mean but le based swede man is part of the cancer killing youtube
>isn't controlled by ~~*them*~~
You're moronic. israelitetube is pozzed to hell and back
I like the pedo hunters channels like PCI: Predator Catchers Indianapolis. Channels like these are truly an improvement on the classic 'To Catch a Predator' formula
I finally gave tik tok a shot and do all zoomers care about is "asthetics" and trendy music?

It's pretty easy to spread far-right ideology when you just let everyone tell the truth, yeah.
>Extremist ideologies are the truth.
Hey anon, when are you going to do the next mass shooting?
You think anyone who doesn't think Bruce Jenner is a "woman" is an """extremist"" tho.
Nah, I'm not as easily read as an extremist like you. Of course you where going to say some extremist shit like that lol, you just repeat the same four or five things. Wonder where your next representative is going to show up to do some mass shooting.
Define extremism.

/ourautist/
y u mad tho
>would rather watch a random homosexual than an actual movie
Based. Frick ~~*Hollywood*~~. Cry harder, Moshe
Convenient that a youtube thread is up when I was about to make one.
Why does youtube continually keep pushing moronic bullshit updates? How come every time I search something on youtube they blend in videos that are completely unrelated? It was bad enough when they divided it with "videos you may like" but now they just don't give a shit. Videos that are unrelated will just straight up be stacked right next to videos actually relating to what i'm searching. fricking christ it's so fricking stupid, does this actually help them somehow? Are mindless morons searching something up and clicking on these videos that aren't related?
youtube has fricked me up, i spend hours listening to video essays about movies while playing video games but can't be bothered to actually watch movies. I'm 30 and my attention span is gone. I can't imagine what kids raised on tiktok are going to be like as adults
Youtube didn't cause you to be a homosexual, you were just born one
Which ones do you remember bros?
yahtzee was kino
Castle Clique has a pretty good channel
