Oh no, I will have to do something useful with my time instead of watching 100 viral and algorithmically selected videos designed to enrage me – one after each other. WHAT WILL I DO
one way to look at it is a blessing in disguise. instead of dissociating with YT, now you have all this time to figure out who you actually are and then become that thing. i imagine it’s more rewarding than passively watching YT.
figuring out who you are isn’t specifically career related. it’s whoever you are. the focus here is doing/being authentic. authenticity isn’t a passive activity.

What comments like this fail to understand is that people sometimes like to do nothing with their free time.
YouTube became as popular as it is because it fulfilled a necessity, for good or bad
there are other options available for entertainment, like tubi and pluto.
Because hobbies don’t exist? Only jobs?

Not all of us watch bullshit and drama on YouTube. There is good science and engineering content on there.

It sounds like you algorithmically encourage this content too
