Don’t get me wrong, I’d migrate away from YouTube in a heartbeat, but there really isn’t much that compares when it comes to the creators, and the music. All of which are “free” and easy to access with an ad blocker. And I’m including piracy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 3abas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Have you seen most YouTube videos? Nothing can hold up to the garbage content being pumped in by scammers and low effort "influencers" and shit like Mr beast or the Pauls or whatever is popular these days.

Just like bots and bad actors exist here on Lemmy, and wether or not you want them to be here they are. You can’t build for “the good content” and assume the bad won’t follow. And honestly, once you hit a certain scale it is literally impossible to weed out the bad. permalink fedilink source parent
