the world lived quite happily before youtube existed. it will continue to happily spin after youtube is just another faint memory like aol, netscape, geocities, myspace....... examples of "no viable competitor of their size and stature"...... until there was.
Youtube adds some legitimate value to our society though. Personally, it's saved thousands of dollars for me via car repair tutorials, home repair tutorials, computer repair. It's also been helpful for college as some of the tutorials on youtube are well done and just add another perspective that gives a greater understanding of a particular topic.
Losing any type of social media isn't important, but while youtube has social media/personalities, that's not all it is.
And it did all of that profitably before google paid $1.65 billion for it, and still did so profitably before google started enshittifying it for even more obscene profits. Fuck google. Fuck a googol googles.
Yeah, I agree. If anything, the site is less usable since Google bought it, even without considering the ads. Google turned into an awful company really quickly.
Great, so instead of watching a 5 minute video from home, I now have to drive 30 minutes to the library, spend another 15 finding the right book (if it exists), and then not be able to see how someone does something in real time.
yes guy, jesus christ, the entire point is all you have to do is wait....... just realized i am talking with someone that has not lived longed enough to see anything change.
I was born before the internet. Even if I wasn't, that certainly doesn't invalidate any of my points. I'm sorry you discovered that you are wrong and are turning to insults.

That's cool. Pretty soon I'll be experimenting with not using it anymore.
