[–] 1984@lemmy.today 17 points 2 years ago (2 children) You know you don't have to use these big tech platforms right? Stop bowing down to their madness and just be OK with not having YouTube. It's not like water you know. You don't need them to survive. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) The only problem - everyone uses it. And it's a good source of info for all sorts of things (disassembly tutorials, DIY, etc.). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] crsu@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) There is more misinformation than information on Youtube permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago* Look at the DIY and disassembly tutorials, I can vouch that most (if not all) of them are great and don't misinform on anything. Some of the ideas may be stupid though, I can agree with that 😂. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PlogLod@lemmy.world [S] -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Exactly, everyone uses it. Otherwise I would 100% be using Oddysee or something like that.

No it's not the creators, it's 100% YouTube bots. There's a slight possibility it could be people working for YouTube in certain cases on popular channels but mostly it's definitely bots.
