To be fair, people got their opinions from TV back when that was a thing. No one below 50 is really watching cable TV much anymore, though.

lowkey the problem isn’t youtube itself, it’s that way too many people treat random creators like they’re professors, therapists, financial advisors, and political experts all at once

I agree, but not because they’re influencing people’s opinions. They’re setting bad examples for kids. If kids sees someone get rich and famous from “prank” videos, so they it’s funny and cool to annoy people. Even in cases like iShowSpeed they see him being crazy and hyper and they copy him.
Social media has normalized harassment.

Thats not new, most people’s opinions came from the news.

I was watching a documentary on Bam Margera a few days ago, and those guys were the original nuisance streamers.

I feel like the problem with youtubers is a double edge sword they are actors they pivot to things we like and to younger auidences they mimick said youtubers opnion/persona even if its a pure lie

The real problem is from when Reagan got rid of equal airtime for the news. The news used to have to share multiple sides of an issue, and it was up to you to form an opinion from there. That set the precedent that created political leaning media sources, and the rest is history.

It’s funny reading the negative comments talking about echo chambers spreading negativity.

The people that get everything they say from YouTubers were never going to make a meaningful impact on anything anyway so I wouldn’t blame the YouTubers

I want to know who decided that those dumpling slime ball thingies were popular. Like did someone that manufactures those things have a daughter that was an influencer and got them to plug their product?
CrispFreshley on
No has!

I think the YouTubers from back in the days and the modern content creators are 2 fastly different kinds of people.

Literally lost a friendship because I had an opinion that differed from what he’d seen on YouTube.

The problem is more with the algorithm that encourages charged rhetoric to stir up engagement.

EDP445, YandereDev, Azzman, LionMaker… all MFs I watched as a kid.
I wonder who has the record for “most YouTubers watched turned out to be minsters” 🤔

Like most things its not ALL youtubers but SOME. With varying degrees of effects in both directions. If that’s ALL the youtubers in your feed. Maybe you need to nuke your account and start over because you’ve dug yourself into that scene.
Did the same with my reddit account and so much more bitching and whining with the new subs I’m in now and things I see day to day.
The world is not all doom and gloom like media of any kind would have you believe. There are still good people, there are still good things happening. If you don’t see it, then try looking elsewhere and encouraging others to do the same.

Don’t forget tiktoker or Instagram. I have never seen anything good from them. From licking toilet seats during covod to teaching people how to break into kia cars.

Nah….INstagram and Tictokkers are worse.

While I generally agree, it’s nuanced. I trust a ytuber a tad more than the journo who works for the multi million dollar company with an agenda to push
captaindomon on
Really depends on the YouTuber.

Youtubers arent the worst. Instagram and Tik Tok influencers are way worse. At least from what i see on Youtube compared to Instagram and Tik Tok.

*some* YouTubers. There’s loads of good educational channels, genuinely nice let’s play gamers, and lots of sketch comedy/drama/animation channels.

Maybe start watching a variety of youtubers.

There have been people influencing others without internet or the YouTube long before we were born. Newspapers and the news told lies and caused conflicts way before Youtubers and others were telling us whatever.

YouTube itself is the dangerous entity. It used to be *The Place* to watch funny viral videos and anime 3 parts at a time. Now, it’s nothing but comments, likes, and subscribes

should say “The Youtubers I watch are a hazard to society”
There’s a lot of independent stuff and just entertainment on the site still. You don’t have to watch the popular kids.

The solution to all these issues is massive public investment in education and mental health, followed by a comprehensive reform of how companies are allowed to treat/pay their employees in this country. Everything else will fall into place.
Simple, right? But we’ll never do it. Just let it burn.

You forgot TikTok and Instagram
You misspelled “tik-tok”
