MODERATORS
I mostly just use it to find new music.
There's a couple of cooking channels I keep an eye on, a bit of tom scott and contrapoints/shaun/etc - but mainly just music.
No, I don't have or want spotify. I like music videos, and I like being able to easily skip through and sample fragments of songs, rather than just have them on in the background.
I mostly watch high elo games of LoL, TFT, Chess. like @PekinWoof, @Bebe872, @Frodan and many more.
I love Outside XBox (they do more than Xbox content) And Outside Extra. I think its the best short-form gaming variety content there is
I'm still enjoying the engineering and maker channels, along with a few other educational channels.
I watch a few, but the first worthy one that comes to mind is TBSkyen.
H3 podcast best show on the internet
Second Thought, First Thought, Our Changing Climate, Polymatter, Kurzgesagt, The Grayzone, Geopolitical Economy Report, Breakthrough News, Democracy Now.
I do yes as I also have a channel that I do videos for (my only income as I fund my own website without ads or 3rd party trackers). I do make my videos' ads skippable though. And yes my own browser blocks ads.
But the pleasantness, or lack thereof, comes down to a site's rules and moderation. The vast majority of people don't want to be aggravated, and they also don't really want to pay to use a website.
But scammers and clickbait are everywhere. I think a lot depends on whether they can game the algorithm to force their way into your home feed or not. Many news media sites also use clickbait, and the same goes for politicians wanting to get attention through fear and anger. But I agree very often clickbait crosses the line - it is really irritating when you see a thumbnail of something, and that image literally appears nowhere inside the content.
I mostly follow technology channels though.
