#i am so tired of the garbage and even triggering videos you get recommended on yt even if you are giving specific keywords

The world and the internet would become a better place if we banned algorithms. Like literally every new shit development is encouraged and born because of algorithms and humans urge to play algorithms for profit like all these things:

clickbait

content farming

content theft

rage culture and fear mongering (anger & fear gives more clicks -> more traffic -> more net worth)

echo chambers because algorithms only give you the content you want to see OR HATE which includes politics and conspiracy shit

conspiracy videos for fame and money

bought likes / traffic / ratings to push and hype specific content up

the mindset that you have to spend 24/7 on xitter hashtags to show support or even help with some RL issues (it rarely does anything but just wasting your time)

It's such an artificial distortion... how are we even okay with that?

Imagine if youtube would go back to not paying creators and removed video ads (that actually is how it started and how yt got fame when people just did what they wanted for fun and not for money). Not saying creators should not be paid but maybe not based on fakeable numbers but the oldschool way by their own fans and community. idk

Or if xitter and instagram would hide follower numbers and the whole sponsorship deals would stop.

Because in the end it's really just coming down to having enough followers and clicks on youtube to get paid and on instagram / xitter to get sponsorship deals from companies.

If these two things would stop. All the clickbait shit and trash content farming (which does make people stupid btw like 5 minutes craft was just the beginning of that) etc would stop too.
