And you know what? The channels today are super sensational when it comes to their titles and thumbnails like it's always about a curiosity gap or some extreme headline that makes you annoyed and I'm honestly over it. It's just so hard to find good channels that are genuinely entertaining and don't employ any of these. Honestly I'd go back to 2013 YouTube, it was far better
Same here, I have removed the home page (using ReVanced) so it automatically loads my subscriptions, as I found those has far better videos than my home feed at all. Homepage has really died, I keep getting the same videos I already watched, some obscure 39 views video keep annoying me and because I use YouTube music I also get recommended music, except they have like 100 views. It's just so terrible.
I think YouTube has been disabling the homepage, so you are more intrigued to enable it. But it really just makes your and my lives easier. Either way it's the only way to really enjoy the videos nowadays. Hopefully another platform comes along, but that hasn't happened at all in over 20 years
Sounds interesting, especially with the fact you can comment on it. Only issue is getting sites to adopt it, and currently RSS is just dead simple to implement.
I just realised how you control reality at work and how much enjoyment you get.... Until you are enjoying too much and get fired
Wasn't that how YouTube used to work tho? Still I think it's better discovering new channels, but that makes it harder for the new users I suppose
For me it has to do with this
RSS meets both these, dead simple. It's also low in data usage, but it's for those reasons that I recently started using RSS after leaving it years ago.
P.S. I believe some blame goes toward "fragmentation", i.e. we still need to check a couple of websites for something new. RSS solves that by bringing all that into one place
Yeah honestly these are some great points, and really it's one of these reasons as to why I just dislike modern journalism today with the headlines as such.
I am not one of those people, but man that was a good caption. Lots of people always forget it's a "reverse scale".
