    The two worst things that ever happened to YouTube were monetized content and Google buying it. It hasn’t even been very fun to browse YouTube since like 2010.

      Remember YouTube before people started doing ad-like thumbnails, and radio voices?

      Like …the top channels were normal people.

        Someone like FRED was on top at one point. Which is insane looking back on it. All it took was running around being obnoxious with a high pitched voice to be the largest channel on YouTube back then.

        Use DeArrow and/or ignore the ““algorithm”” fed feeds.

      Very true. In germany we had “Ytitty”, a group of young guys doing music parodies and comedy stuff. They went more and more professional and less funny, not realizing thats not how comedy works.
