Watching YouTube Implode in Real Time

I started watching YouTube for HowTo videos and woodworking/homesteading stuff, and gradually started watching it for entertainment too. We watch it sometimes in the evenings instead of watching some random crap on Netflix or some other streaming site. We never, ever watch cable TV or local TV channels and it's great. I'll never watch that crap again, and frankly I'll probably stop watching and paying for the streaming services like Netflix, which is really shitty and overly expensive for what it is.

Anyway, I watch a broad selection of YouTube channels on a bunch of stuff, from esoteric and occult topics, to news analysis, car repair, to pop culture/entertainment crap. As my interest in YouTube increased, Corporate YouTube started trying to squash all the producers of that stuff I'm watching.

YouTube has been crushing little channels one by one, and just stomped on one I actually watch. Many of the mom & pop little people who produce YouTube content took the ad revenue ticket from YouTube, and are now regularly getting their income slashed, or cut off altogether by YouTube for rando corporate bullshit reasons.

YouTube has been shifting its focus away from independent mom and pop channels to corporate garbage, because the advertisers want corporate content, because they're corporations. YouTube seems oblivious to the reason it has an audience in the first place. PEOPLE HATE CORPORATIONS.

There's such a huge difference between a piece of art or a video that's been made by a real person, versus one that's been shit out of a corporate thing. I think the audience for the corporate stuff is shrinking rapidly.

It seems pretty obvious that YouTube is on a one way trip to being a second rate version of Netflix, which is already pretty crappy, so YouTube will be like shit squared. Corporations need specific garbage as a carrier wave for their brainwashing/sales pitch... really its sales pitch. For some reason everyone, all at the same almost, tuned off that frequency. I don't think corporations will be able to mimic the thing that people get out of the product of individuals. It's going to be interesting to see how all this plays out.
