I think that has been the case for a longer time than we realize. These are the same people that sat around watching all the same garbage TV shows for decades, the same vanilla movies, and ate at the same chain restaurants. Those of us that have always looked for our own music, our own shows, our own movies, tend to continue to curate our own experiences on the internet rather than accept society’s spoon fed nonsense.
At some point I was really disillusioned by YouTube and I tried really hard to curate a list of interested channels. But YouTube fought extremely hard against users interests and completely broke YouTube. I have several subscriptions that get buried and forgotten because YouTube refuses to recommend them to me.
The solution would be simple, an inbox of videos, rss style. But that's not in YouTube's interest.
I bookmark the channels I like and then go through one by one to check if they have something new, old school style. It's kind of interesting that way because it feels more personal. It's more like choosing something to watch from netflix from your saved list or similar to those.
Sure, but I have accumulated far too many over the years to do this... Some channels post a video per year, others 5 per week.
Yeah, that makes sense on how that would be hard. I only have 20 and then post weeklyish.
