it's a type of entertainment, like watching tv or Netflix. that much i can understand. mainly because i mostly use it for those reasons, but i just follow particular creators. just each time you go there you get some complete bs suggestions, which are always clickbait. on top recently a lot of that "content" is so obvious to be entirely ai generated. the yt algorithm just sucks. at least for me... but somehow that is how a lot of ppl earn their livelihood.
