    Maybe people could read more?

    Nobody needs this endless “content” slop.

    For real people need to get a grip if they can’t survive without it. They’re addicted.

      Hmm yes I’ll just read about how cool two bullets hitting each other in slowmotion looks. Much better experience than watching it /s

      There’s an incredible amount of educational and fun content on YouTube, just because you watch slop and it’s associated recommendations, doesn’t mean I or others do.

        Try again to make yourself feel okay about heavily using a service that is happily allowing hate speech against gender identity. I don’t have any subscriptions and I rarely watch youtube because I can fucking read. Man, this would be funny if it wasn’t so sad and indicative of how broken people’s brains are by this shit.

          You do you, if you want to read go ahead. You are just entirely missing the point and just assuming we all consume media in a way you preconceived in your “unbroken” brain.

              You are telling us YouTube is all slop and posting pictures of videos as evidence of the sort, I didn’t make an assumption, I just went along with what you said. Get some self-awareness seriously, are you reading what you are typing?

      Horse shit.

      Reading vs TV was a tired debate in the eighties. YouTube is no different than tv. Hell, in some ways, because it isn’t all controlled by oligarchs entirely, I would argue that it’s easier to find good things on YouTube than it ever was on broadcast or cable tv.

      Also, ablist much? How about the blind and dyslexic? Are they fucked just because you don’t like that format?

      Yeah, fuck YouTube as a platform, and fuck Google/alphabet, but don’t pretend to be the arbiter of entertainment.

        How about the blind and dyslexic

        Last I checked braille exists and so do tools for dyslexic readers. There are literally braille terminals for the blind. Hell, the first time I saw one was in the film Sneakers in 1992.

        It’s actually very easily argued that the push to touch-screen and video everything is what is actually ableist and making braille be used far less because companies are more worried about what’s cheap than what is actually useful.

            Yeah, that’s some projection. You weren’t being disingenuous to pretend that videos are more helpful to the blind than braille? Get a grip.

            We’re talking about a company that is happily trampling over the rights of individuals right now, you don’t think the disabled won’t be next on their chopping block?
