    If you curate your Youtube experience decently by subbing to worthwhile creators only it’s damn high quality content.

    Never paying Youtube a single cent though. I’ll consider donating to the creators directly (or buying from their store) if their efforts are sufficient.

      This is the way. The key is to ignore the clickbait, politics, low-effort content, and sensational bullshit, and just go after stuff you really like.

      There’s even videos for every schedule. We seem to be back to 30-50 minute videos these days, but there are still some micro channels around. Like “Sandwiches of History”, where every video is at most two minutes.

      most of thier income comes from sources outside of youtube: brand promotion, promotions, patreon. all because youtube wants more share of ad revenue. also alot of youtubers eventually turns out to be pos in the end, or they become to preachy and political.

        Massive generalisation there. I bet you could give me a list of five YouTubers who’s that’s happened to and I will guarantee it that I never subscribe to their content in the first place.
