It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I’m start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

    If you are into fishing, hunting, cooking, and a a bit of Southwest history check out Sin City Outdoors. They have family friendly content. For outdoor recovery Matts Off Road Recovery is good and Heavy D Sparks sometimes has great content if you don’t mind fast forwarding a bit.

    For food/bbq a few that I like Guga Foods, Mad Scientist BBQ, First We Feast (hot ones), and Munchies.

    Lots of good tech channels depending on your interests but here are a few smaller ones I like. Matt Moniz does good laptop reviews, Brandon Butch digs deep into every iOS release, All Things One Place only reviews power adapters and cables.
