Are the YouTube globalist overlords trying to make a lot of people have mental breakdowns or something?
Weird Things You've Noticed Recently

Is this feed augmented by you?
Definitely a possibility. What a mirror for myself, haha.
Thats just so much of youtube and the internet headlines in general these days. I was gonna list some more as a joke before I realized you'd already hit most of them.
A random collection of titles that show on my Youtube home page:
- The Soviet way to get Mysteriously Strong
- Last Train Home Playthrough
- The Cruelest Fate - Stroggification
- Outwork everyone by being bored
- The Great Refusal Has Begun
- What if a man practised shooting a million times (soccer)
- 10 books that will make you ADDICTED to reading
- A couple videos on overcoming lust (how does it KNOW?)
and so on, but nothing doom and gloom or conspiracy, so it's definitely algorithm driven according to your preferences.
The thing about YouTube is that so many videos sound appealing but when you watch them there's no substance and they are forgettable. I almost feel like I'm unteachable through YouTube because I never actually get anything out it. It turns into another chain of entertainment consumption, including the dopamine hits from self-improvement fantasies. I also noticed YouTube Premium subscribers can now watch videos at 4x speed. Who is watching a video at 4x speed? There is no reason to watch a video at that speed unless you are there to consume as many as you can, and for what? A waste of time.

I just discovered you can mute it, put captions on, and it's easy to read at 2x. I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to read at 4x.
I understand where you're coming from but personally I've learned a lot through JewTube vids. I learned how to build several load bearing partition walls in my house. I learned how to add transmission fluid into my vehicle's enclosed transmission system. I learned several complex picking techniques on guitar, and I learned how to build a shed.
These vids all randomly popped up in my feed, so yeah, your algorithm targets your search preferences.
Nice job, man. I practically learned how to play bass guitar from YouTube. I just watched my musical heroes and tried to imitate hours at a time, all the time in high school. I get a lot of workout videos, too, and some have actually helped me improve my pull-up form. With that said, thats all from videos I had to dig in a bit to find. There was a lot less garbage and more original content ~20 years ago. Nowadays I imagine it has to be endless, the sheer volume of video on Jewtube.
I've also learned practical things from it, it's all of the mind-game stuff, or "wisdom" videos that I find impossible to retain. They most often tend to be a bunch of video clips, images, or animations edited together with some voiceover, probably AI, narrating something that ends up having little substance, probably because it's some college guy with no life experience trying to make an easy living producing bullshit. If I'm going to learn by watching I tend to learn better from a lecture if it isn't something I can learn from the more traditional monkey-see-monkey-do way.
For last 5+ years I’ve always enjoyed various WatchMojo rankings on various subjects on YouTube. Seems last year or so they’ve gotten more biased towards woke things; women, gays minorities get pumped higher in rankings then they deserve or shouldn’t even be in whatever they are ranking at all. Even during the peak of woke crap it didn't seem as bad as today, or perhaps it just took me a while to wake up and notice.
As much as I believe the pendulum is swinging in the other direction for actual society when it comes to social media or just entertainment and media in general it still skews toward faggotry. From what I have noticed recently there seems to be one last desperate double down stand being pushed by those who control pop culture, lots of Hollywood sickos, to instill woke garbage which may be the reason why it seems to be more in your face at the moment.
In the end (even though sometimes I do enjoy their videos) it's all goy slop.
Celebrity gossip is always a dead end. Unless it's about Mel Gibson I guess.
The propaganda is getting louder.
Which guitar techniques? Curious because I've recently picked up sweep picking (still somewhat slow) and artificial harmonics on low strings.
Working on hybrid picking.
Acoustic finger picking and strumming patterns. Travis Picking, Chickin' Pickin', Banjo Rolls, and the like.
