Hey, I really appreciated that video, right up to the point where he felt the need to whore himself out to Surfshark VPN.
Anyway, that aside, I've noticed that Youtube (also Google owned) has also started enshitifying.
It might be deliberate by Google, or it might be 'contributors' massaging the way the algorithm works, but there's a ton of lying, zero fact bile being pushed up high in the Youtube listings through using the label 'Live' in their postings or in their actual name. It's got to the point where if I see the 'Live' tag anywhere I just ignore it deliberately.
Google has sold out. Not that they ever needed to, but a greedy short term sellout to the advertisers might just be enough to see them lose users to the next, upcoming search engine. And that just might be a good thing.
